A CELEBRATION OF LIFE AT THE INTERNATIONAL BOMBER COMMAND CENTRE... Over the last 12 months, many of us have been unable to commemorate or celebrate the lives of those we have lost in the way we would have liked, because of restrictions imposed by Covid. As a result, the IBCC will hold a special Service of Commemoration this month to enable families and friends to remember a loved one. The service will be led by the site’s padre and the IBCC will host an afternoon tea in its event marquee afterwards. n From 1pm, IBCC, Canwick Hill in Lincoln LN4 2HQ , 01522 514755.

From this month you’ll be able to embark on the hunt for one of 30 colourful Lincoln Imp sculptures throughout the city. Lincoln BIG is incredibly excited to introduce the third sculpture trail which will run during from 3rd July to 9th September 2021 across Lincoln city centre. This is a mass participation public art event to celebrate Lincoln’s culture & heritage. Artists, both professional and amateur, local and national, have designed each sculpture to add lots of colour to the city centre through the trail. The Imps will assemble for their Farewell event at Lincoln Castle before being auctioned to raise money for St Barnabas Hospice on 1st October 2021 at Lincoln Cathedral. n For more information see www.visitlincoln.com.
