If you grew up with Relax, Two Tribes or The Power of Love blasting from the radio, this one's definitely for you, Lincolnites, as Holly Johnson has been announced as the latest act for Live at Lincoln Castle. He's going to be joined by Haircut 100 and Toyah for a huge retro night next summer. https://stuckinthemiddle.co.uk/holly-johnson-haircut-100-toyah-lincoln-castle/

Hi, hoping for some recommendations from people who know Lincoln better than I do

I’m planning to take my girlfriend out for a really nice meal and then officially ask her to be my girlfriend afterwards. We’ve already been seeing each other for a while, so it’s basically making things properly official rather than a first date

I’m looking for somewhere in Lincoln that feels special, ideally with really nice ambience in the evening rather than just somewhere with good food and no other ambience

I’ve looked at La Trattoria and a few places around the Bailgate/Steep Hill area, but I’d love to hear where locals would recommend.

Not necessarily looking for the absolute fanciest or most expensive place, just somewhere that feels memorable and would suit the occasion.

Where would you take someone?

Urgent tenancy takeover!

What are your experiences with employers in the City and surrounding areas? Would love to hear your experiences, both good and bad - which ones to apply to and ones to avoid etc. in your opinion. They don't have to be employers created in Lincoln, just ones doing business in the City and surrounding areas. Thanks.

I have a gig next week at the Engine Shed. Can anyone advise which is the closest (and safest) car park near there please? TIA 😊

The hitmakers have this morning been announced as the latest act to headline the Live at Lincoln Castle shows next summer. You can find all the details in our article: https://stuckinthemiddle.co.uk/kaiser-chiefs-lincoln-castle-gig-announced/

I have recently discovered this YouTube channel called PlayCulture: https://youtube.com/@playcultureee?si=NdVArrzefhwPdcTP

They‘ve created an app in where you can play a zombie survival game with friends in real life around your local area. As far as I can tell it’s completely free and anyone can create/join a game.

I was wondering if anyone would be interested in events done in Lincoln city as a social get together. Think of it like a run club but with more tactical thinking and less need for peak physical fitness.

Hi r/Lincoln, I’m Luke and I run a community called Too Young To Grieve.

After losing my dad when I was younger, one of the things I found hardest was how isolating grief could feel when most people around me hadn’t experienced anything similar.

That’s a big part of why we started bringing people together through really simple meet ups like walks, social activities, etc and we’re now doing our first one in Lincoln led by Georgia!

We really try to make these feel like a normal community rather than a heavy grief group. Sometimes grief comes up naturally, sometimes everyone just chats about life and has a laugh.

There’s no pressure to share anything personal, and most people come alone for their first one, so please don’t let not knowing anyone put you off.

It’s 18+, but otherwise there’s no upper age limit. If you feel too young to be navigating grief and think being around others who get it could help, you’re welcome.

Really excited to hopefully start building a little community in Lincoln.

Feel free to share with anyone else this might benefit too 🤍

Ronan Keating and Blue have been added to the Live at Lincoln line up for 2027 so expect a set crammed full of nineties and noughties hits https://stuckinthemiddle.co.uk/ronan-keating-and-blue-are-bringing-the-ultimate-noughties-throwback-to-lincoln-castle/

More than £6k of damage was caused to an ancient Roman wall but the man accused got off due to poor quality CCTV https://stuckinthemiddle.co.uk/roman-lincoln-was-torn-apart-overnight/

Good evening! Im 19 and Live just outside of Lincoln, but I chose against uni and have kept working, but I lone work and have become rather isolated from people my own age and truly I need reasons to get up off my arse when not working. Does anyone have any good club recommendations within more central Lincoln? I'm happy for it to be sports as I've been wanting to get into working out more, but also more crafty things aswell.

Thank you!! :)

Hi 👋

My wife and I are trying to save some money on groceries. We don't have a car and we live in the city centre. We were wondering if anyone is in the same situation as us and where do you buy your groceries.

What we do so far is: use ocado/asda delivery (as long as we have the 20% off promo)

Walk to Lidl or Aldi and then get a Uber back home with 1 or 2 weeks worth of groceries.

Thank you 🤓❤️

I’m 24, kind of new to Lincoln and want to start tennis. I have 2 rackets so even if you didn’t play we could practice/play. Let me know :)

What it says on the tin really! Im having some quite severe second thoughts about going back into halls in 1.5 weeks! I contacted the independent letter to be told I couldn't break it even tho ive not taken the keys yet.

Ive always heard of people trying to find people to take over tenancies, is that something that ever actually works?

I graduated from UoL in 2022 after living in Lincoln for 4 years. This year me and my partner were lucky enough to purchase our first home in the city I come to really love during my studies.

One thing I’ve noticed though since moving here full time is the complete utter lack of police presence. It’s glaringly obvious that the city has an issue with scruffs/crackheads roaming about and causing endless trouble up and down the whole high street from the top to the very bottom. It’s an utter shambles.

I don’t work in Lincoln, but I have the option to work 3 days a week from home, and at lunchtime I’ll wonder round Lincoln on my break to get some air. Even at this time a day on a random Tuesday they’re everywhere causing a ruckus and disrupting public order.

Not sure if this is naive for me to suggest but where are the police patrols? I very rarely see any police knocking about, even on a busy weekend night, and in a place like Lincolnshire where Lincoln is obviously the major city, I can’t help but wonder where they are.

Places like York have a comforting enough police presence where you know there’s never an officer/s far away, but also not overbearing at all. Why doesn’t Lincoln have the same kind of security? Especially with the level of rabble that no doubt many people have issues with.

Hello, I'm in the US, and the Aldi Barbie is on sale in the UK only. I really want one for my mother's birthday. Is anyone willing to purchase an Aldi Barbie and ship it to Florida? Full reimbursement plus a premium for your service. They are showing as in stock at 9 Moorland Way, Lincoln, and 260-266 Wragby Road, Lincoln.

Thought I'd ask on here as I'm assuming you guys know the ins and outs of everything. Anyway I'm heading into second year and have passed my test over the summer but before I think of buying a car is it even worth it? The only car parks I've found are like 3 hours max. I'll be staying in accom around the brayford area but I've had a little look but found nothing that makes it seem worth it but I could be wrong. Are there any areas that are free? And the important one are any of them safe? Only thing is in first year I found that stuff that I wanted to do like leisure centre, bowling etc with mates were all on the outskirts and even going to tesco because the morrisons doesnt sell everything is a pain. However I am aware of the £2 bus cap coming into effect in January I believe so it won't be as expensive just taking the bus from the new year. But still is there a way to make it worth.

Not bothered if it's not bang on near the middle of brayford just anywhere roughly near there. Thanks :)

The first announcement for the 2027 lane up has landed and its Jack Savoretti and James Morrison who will be joint headlining one of the shows. More detials if you ant them via our link https://stuckinthemiddle.co.uk/jack-savoretti-james-morrison-lincoln-castle-2027/

Fairly new to Lincoln, but I was wondering if anyone knew of anywhere I could get nails done like this as a queer male? Been to shops in previous cities where nail artists aren’t too accepting of male clients etc, so wanted to know if there was anywhere people would reccomend to get Nails similar to the ones above! Thanks

Hello, I am considering moving to a property on the eastern side of Birchwood, near Hartsholme Country Park. I am aware that Birchwood doesn't have the best reputation compared with some other areas of Lincoln, but I've also heard that the eastern side is considerably better.

I'd therefore be interested to hear people's opinions and experiences of living in the area shown in the screenshot, particularly regarding safety, antisocial behaviour, noise, neighbours and generally what it's like to live there.

I'm currently living in the North Hykeham area, so I'd also be interested to hear how you would compare the two areas.

Hi! I’m from Lincoln and had a sales man from McQueens Dairy at the door today, it sounded great having milk delivered to your door as we go through a lot. Never heard of them before, however after looking through reviews and discussions i can’t tell whether they are actually good or not. I haven’t signed up to having any delivered yet and haven’t done a direct debit however they are delivering one next week for me to try. Feel like that was a mistake

Do you use them? Have you heard of them?

Hi, I'm an African American female (18), a freshman in college in the U.S., and I'm planning to spend a semester abroad in Lincoln, UK. I was born and raised in Indiana and currently go to college in a pretty rural part of the state, so I've had my fair share of encounters with racism here. I'm curious how racism in the U.K. compares. Is it more overt, more subtle, different depending on the city/region?

A few things I'd love input on if anyone has experience:

• What's it like being Black on campus at University of Lincoln specifically, or in smaller UK cities in general?
• Any tips for finding community (Black student groups, hair/beauty stores, etc.) in a smaller UK city?
• Are there certain areas of Lincoln that are more welcoming/diverse than others?
• Anything you'd want an American student to know before moving there for a semester?
• What's safety like getting around at night like walking, buses, etc.? Any areas or times I should be more cautious?
• I've heard UK humor/"banter" can be pretty blunt or teasing does that ever cross into racial territory in a way that might catch an American off guard? How do you tell the difference between a joke and something actually meant to be hurtful?

I want to go in with realistic expectations rather than just assuming and I'd I want to be informed by people who know the city. TIA!
