Going to Lincoln Christmas Market tomorrow, anyone know if there is any snow around there. Been really looking forward to it, probably be 6 foot deep tomorrow. Not been before, We booked two years ago and it was cancelled, due to SNOW. Stopping overnight in Lincoln but believe its mostly small roads from when I am (near Manchester) to Lincoln. |

Magical place, Marilyn. Very steep hills. Many years since we went there, but it was very quaint and very pretty up by the Cathedral. |

The setting is absolutely magnificent but, unfortunately, the crowds and the traffic can be horrific, so leave plenty of time. Parking at the showground and getting the shuttle is dead easy, but the showground itself is quite a way out of the city. Assuming you don;t need to go across the city to get there, you'll be fine |

Thanks everyone, really looking forward to it, we have booked into a guest house for tomorrow night, going for a Christmas meal about half four then wandering down, (walking) I think its about twenty minute walk from guest house. Want to see it at night when its all lit up. Cant wait for the hot chestnuts, even a warm brandy. |

Is it a one way system for the full market, hubby a bit worried if you see something on a stall and want to go back, you have to go all the way round again. Wouldn`t have thought you have to do that though, do you?? :-S |

Thanks Ronald, we are actually in Derbyshire, a few miles outside of Manchester, apparently we are going on the M18 and the A1, I just found out. It does take us about 2 hours accordingly to Google. |

Marilyn ..... there are many stalls all over the place BUT if you leave the castle area and then want to go back then yes you will need to go round again, they will not let you back in. |

Thanks for advice Patricia, yes we will be on A57, I will have pennies ready. Don`t have a dog so that doesn`t apply to us. Will have to make sure we get things when we see them then. |

Went once, many years ago and we both said never again. Much too crowded, couldn't get near a lot of the stalls etc etc. |

Just got back ourselves from the market, stayed overnight. It was cold last night and just started to rain as we got to the bottom of steep hill. It was very crowded and wet and you couldn`t really get to any of the stalls. |
