There is something for everyone…  rich architecture and heritage, beautiful tranquillity and spiritually, vibrant exhibitions and music… as well as a welcoming oasis of peace and spirituality.

This year, six Churches Conservation Trust churches join the festival – Haltham on Bain, Haugham, Little Cawthorpe, Theddlethorpe, Waithe and Yarburgh.

We are delighted to welcome Fotherby Church back this year and also first-time festival participants Horsington.

It is also the opportunity to see the newly restored church at High Toynton, which suffered a devastating tower collapse in 2020.

Numerous exciting activities are being staged to whet your appetites along the way, from flower and art displays to exhibitions and even a music festival.

Alternatively, if all you want is a bit of time to yourself, to relax in the quiet of a beautiful spiritual building, then make sure you choose one of the self-nominated ‘quiet’ churches.

And finally, many churches will have refreshments available to help nourish you on your visits, varying from tea, coffee and biscuits to local Lincolnshire treats.

Once again, we thank you for your support of our church heritage. 

And this support will help ensure the lovely community support that binds these rural Lincolnshire villages together stays forever. So, please do enjoy this sixth Lincolnshire Wolds and Coast Festival.

Raithby, St Peter
