The annual Lincoln Sausage Festival took place this weekend in the Bailgate and Castle Grounds of uphill Lincoln.

The event showcases the best of Lincolnshire produce, of which the most famous is obviously the sausage. Thousands turned up to the event which is now in it’s eighth year. This year they also voted for their favourite sausage of the festival which was won by Red Hill Farm.

Visitors from all over the country visited the Castle Grounds, some of them not even expecting the splendid selection of Lincolnshire food.

Gary Hardwick, a visitor to the festival, said: “We were just visiting for the weekend and saw this happening. It seems like a great event and we’re very pleased that we chose to visit now. There are families making a day of it and the free entry to the Castle Grounds is a good idea as well.”

The Sausage Festival was organised by the Rotary Club of Lincoln Colonia in conjunction with Lincoln Castle and Tastes of Lincolnshire.
