A number of events featuring giant inflatable monsters and an ice sculpture trail will replace the controversial cancellation of a Christmas market in a neighbouring city. It comes after the Lincoln Christmas Market, which had been running for 40 years, was cancelled early in 2023 due to safety concerns relating to overcrowding.
