Many Lincolnshire organisations have been affected
The Friends of Lincoln Castle group are holding a showcase weekend on 24 and 25 September 2022.
To celebrate this, as well as to try and increase their membership, the various groups within FOLC will demonstrate their activities all this weekend.The ‘Prison Group’ will, in costume, be giving guided tours of the Victorian Prison and telling stories of life in it.The ‘Guides’ will provide a series of tours of the Bailey throughout each day, as well as tours around the Castle Walls.
Additionally, there will be a series of talks on various topics relating to the castle. Spaces for these talks are limited, so pleaseAnn, who has been a volunteer at Lincoln Castle for a number of years, recently passed her assessment to become a Guide. She said: “I really love showing people around from all over the world and hopefully sharing my enthusiasm for this wonderful medieval castle.
Andrew is part of the Friends’ Prison Group, and plays the role of the Prison Warden, complete with uniform and menacing stare! Andrew said: “I originally came to Lincoln Castle to actually visit it, and I enjoyed the tour so much I enquired about joining the Friends of Lincoln Castle group.
