The community magazine for Sleaford and surrounding villages

June at Your Local Lincs

June 2025 Your Local Lincs MagazineJune is the month that it all seems to happen. As we head into the month, we reach the lightest days of the year, and so it’s no surprise that the RiverLight Festival is again scheduled around the summer solstice. You would have seen the leaflet for it in last month’s magazine, and this month we chat with local artist Imogen Joyce who’s been making flags with members of the community at the Hub in preparation for the festival. Having been at the RiverLight programme launch evening, we’ve been going through it and picking out all the things we want to see at this year’s smorgasbord of art, performance, music and more.

There’s another big event taking place this month that has also become a regular fixture in our town in recent years, and that is the Sleaford 1940s Day organised by the Town Council and the William Alvey School, and this year we’re actually going to be a part of it! Make sure to pop down and say hello. We’ve tested out our brand new gazebo and been busy preparing various activities for you. It’s going to be a new thing for us so we’re really looking forward to it. There’s so much stuff going on there on the day: re-enactments, Morris dancing, people in 1940s attire (ourselves included!) and the Blighty Belles who we also chat to in this month’s magazine.

And let’s not forget the Lincolnshire Show, taking place on the 18th and 19th. We’ve got family tickets up for grabs this month, but you’ll have to pick up the June edition to find the answer to our question!

Cogglesford Mill are running a couple of projects to commemorate our armed forces, with Armed Forces Day of course taking place this month. You can read all about that in the June edition, or why not pop in there and have a chat with them? While you’re visiting, you’ll likely get to see the new family of swans who nest right by the mill. We posted some photos and a video of the cygnets as they took their first swim in the Slea after hatching only a day or two previously. Make sure to follow our social media channels for even more content like this. Our swan video made quite the splash, racking up thousands of views! You can watch it below...

If you’ve been thinking about taking the plunge and diving into our pages with some advertising, then remember we are always on hand for a chat! Your Local Lincs is a magazine that our readers look forward to receiving each month. Whenever we’re out there bringing it to them, we see their eyes light as they receive the latest edition. If you’d like to get your business in front of them, then we are only a phone call / email / Facebook message / office visit away!

Enjoy all the festivities and shows this month and we’ll see you next time.

Sleaford Town Council have been advertising with Your Local Lincs for approximately 8 years. We initially advertised to let people know about the rooms we had for hire at Sleaford Town Hall and this has progressed into us having a regular slot in the publication. We have a full news page every other month in Your Local Lincs and all our event posters are also published.

We definitely notice that residents of Sleaford and the surrounding villages are seeing what we publicise and we are also able to share the information on our social media pages using the magazine links on the Your Local Lincs website.

The publications each month are full of useful information and we would definitely recommend Your Local Lincs to anyone! The staff couldn’t be more helpful, friendly and communicative. What more could you wish for!

As your essential community magazine, our community is naturally at our heart, and what is at the heart of every community? Charity.

We've been reflecting on the various campaigns we've supported during our 20 years of producing magazines. There is much need in the world, so it should be no surprise that we have quite a list of charities that have featured on our pages over the years.

But what charity-related endeavours will we find on our pages in our 21st year? Is there something out there going on in our community that you would like us to know about? Whether you're a veteran organisation or an individual starting something new, we'd love to hear from you. Would you like us to give your charity some exposure? We're on the lookout for new philanthropic endeavours in our community and would love to hear about the worthy things going on around us.
