The Lincolnshire Wolds Outdoor Festival begins today.

The two-week event boasts over 100 events - many of which are free.

Officials are hoping to engage people with the area's nature and history.

A launch event is taking place today (Sunday 11th May 2025) at Stourton Woods.

The Festival is ran collaboratively by a steering group of organisations, including: Lincolnshire Wolds Countryside Service, The Ramblers, Active Lincolnshire, Stourton Estates, South Ormsby Estate, Lincolnshire County Council, East and West Lindsey District Councils; with East Lindsey District Council serving as lead delivery partner.

Councillor Adam Grist, portfolio holder for market towns and the rural economy at East Lindsey District Council, said: "It is amazing that the Outdoor Festival has been able to return for a third year, with another varied and jam-packed schedule for people to explore and enjoy.

"The events provide residents and visitors alike with the opportunity to learn more about this stunning landscape that make up such a large part of our district and county, and to sample the offers of some of our fantastic local businesses and food and drink providers.

"We have another exciting schedule organised, and I hope that people will come along and enjoy some of the activities and events, perhaps discover some new skills and hobbies, and certainly take in the incredible surroundings of the Wolds."
