New Pop Up Shop Launched for Knights' Trail

A new 'pop up' shop has been opened on the Cornhill in Lincoln City Centre as part of the Knights' Trail project.

The shop - right next to our very own Construction Knight, will host free workshops for children throughout the summer as well as provide tourist information support for the trail and sell merchandise commemorating the 800th anniversary of The Battle of Lincoln and the signing of the Charter of the Forest.

The shop will be open daily from 10.00am - 4.00pm until 3rd September when the trail finishes. Children can take part in crafts or play with the historically themed fancy dress.
