Lincoln Christmas Market

In keeping with the Christmas Markets in Europe, here is a photo essay of the one in Lincoln, United Kingdom; The Lincoln Christmas Market. – You can fly into any of the major U.K. airports, then take a local train to Lincoln.

 

The trains may be a tad pricey as this is one of the bigger Markets in the U.K. The closest airport for a U.S. carrier is Manchester (MAN), but you may also do Birmingham (BHX). This year (2018) it starts on December 6 and runs until the 9th.

 

I stayed at the local Holiday Inn. You can find a hotel by using my hotel partner at https://www.passrider.com/hotelscombined.

  1. Kevin, I have not heard of the Lincoln Christmas Market and will put it on my travel list.  Can’t wait to go there.  I love reading about all your travel ideas and know that you work very hard presenting the latest information.  Thanks a bunch.
    I have heard that there is an way to fly from the US to Europe going through Canada where we can take a friend on a Buddy Pass.  Do you know anything about this?

    Thanks, 
    Kay

      Hi Kay,
      Good deal. It’s a lovely town and a great place to visit.
      Thank you; I appreciate your comment!

      I don’t know about what you are referring.
      Buddy pass rules are on an airline by airline basis. So some airlines may allow you to use a buddy pass or a regular pass for a non-airline employee on a partner carrier. Just have a word with your airline’s pass bureau on what you want to do and they will let you know.

      Good luck and thank you for your support.
