As part of Her Majesty the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations next month, City of Lincoln Council will host a special event at Boultham Park.
Taking place from 12pm – 4pm on Sunday 5 June, the Picnic in the Park event will see communities come together to mark the 70th anniversary celebrations.
As part of the event, hosted by the city council and civic team, visitors can expect live music, including performances from Cleopatra Ridgeway (Cleo) singing songs from the era, Jas and the Jams (Band) and a local DJ, who will play music in between performances.
Visitors to the event can also expect fairground rides, Mr Twist (balloon modelling), ice cream and other food stalls and performances from Rhubarb Theatre.
The Right Worshipful, the Mayor of Lincoln, Cllr Rosanne Kirk, who will also light one of the city’s beacons at Lincoln Castle on 2 June as part of the Platinum Jubilee, will be in attendance at the Picnic in the Park event with her civic party.
This free event is open to all, with visitors welcome to bring their own picnics, or purchase food from either the stalls or Boultham Park café.
Cllr Bob Bushell, Portfolio Holder for Remarkable Place at City of Lincoln Council said: “I very much look forward to welcoming our communities to this fantastic event.
“Celebration events such as this are a brilliant way to bring families together, with something available for everyone.
“It is also a great opportunity to visit Boultham Park and take in the National Lottery funded restoration works, which have taken place over the last few years.”
