Lincoln Castle grounds to re-open this weekend

Safety measures will be in place

Lincoln Castle is getting ready to re-open its grounds to the public this weekend, and has introduced some safety measures during the coronavirus lockdown.

It will re-open from Saturday, May 23, seven days a week from 10am to 5pm. Other aspects of the castle’s re-opening will be phased in line with guidance from central government.

In order to comply with coronavirus social distancing guidelines, some new measures have been put into place.

A one way system is being introduced as the gateways are narrow and wouldn’t allow for a two metre gap to be created if visitors were allowed to enter and exit at the same time.

Entry will be through the main East Gate and the exit will be by the West Gate.

A maximum capacity level will also be set and when this is reached. people will be asked not to queue to get in so as not to create gatherings in the Castle Hill area.
