Officials say it had become 'way too big
A decision has been made to scrap an iconic Christmas Market event near Nottinghamshire after 40 years following concerns over the number of people attending it. Following a meeting of the City of Lincoln Council's executive committee, it was decided that Lincoln Christmas Market had become "way too big", with plans now in place to replace it with a wider events programme throughout the year.
A new campaign named 'Christmas in Lincoln' will take place in December and will stretch across the full six weeks of Christmas instead of four days. The activity will be programmed in the city centre and uphill areas of Lincoln with a hope to spread footfall over a wider area, Lincolnshire Live reports.City of Lincoln Council leader, Ric Metcalfe, said: "Our current market has gotten way too big. It's pretty clear that most people recognise that fact.
"Lincoln is a highly successful tourist and visitor attraction. We've got some fantastic assets. We have a terrific base upon which to build something new and I hope everyone will join us to make sure we get the same benefits, but in a fundamentally different way to the current market."
