December in Sleaford & Surrounding Villages
Here we are at the final chapter of 2025. Another twelve editions have made their way to you this year, each one packed with local stories, brilliant businesses, handy listings, competitions, and so much more. Thank you for picking us up each month and being part of our journey. Think you can remember all our front covers from the past year? Make sure to play our Quiz of the Year cover quiz and test your memory, just for fun!
To celebrate the festive season, we’ve put together a delicious Christmas hamper for one lucky reader to win in our December edition. You’ll also find another fantastic giveaway inside, tickets to see Miller Magic perform their dazzling Christmas Magic concert.
It’s certainly a busy time of year, but don’t forget to check out the brand-new What’s On section on our website, where we’re gathering all the festive fun in one place. Sleaford Little Theatre head into pantoland with Mother Goose, and later in the month WinterLight returns to the Market Place on Saturday 20th with lantern processions, illuminated woodland creatures, live music and plenty more to enjoy. And don't forget, there's FREE parking at NKDC-run car parks on Saturdays throughout December!
If festive markets are your thing, the celebrations continue after the Sleaford Christmas Market. Heckington Windmill hosts its own on the 6th, and Fulbeck Craft Centre follows with theirs on the 13th, perfect for last-minute gifts and seasonal treats.
With the December magazine now landing on doormats and coffee tables, our team is already hard at work on the January 2026 edition. Yes, we’ll be right here with you for another year! Whether you’re a business wanting to start 2026 with a splash, or a community group with news to share, we’d love to hear from you. We’ve met so many amazing people this year, from community swimming pools and community farms to local wildlife groups to street artists, and we’re excited to see what next year brings.
You can reach us by phone, email, Facebook, or by popping into our Sleaford office. Just note we’ll be closed from 23rd December to 5th January while we undertake our annual mince-pie marathon and recharge for another year of great magazines.
Enjoy the festive magic this month (make sure to check out our trip to the Belton Christmas lights below), have a wonderful Christmas and New Year, and we’ll see you again in 2026!
YOUR LOCAL LINCS TEAM
Cogglesford Watermill
We’ve had the pleasure of working with Your Local Lincs for a couple of years now, and it’s been an absolute delight! Visitors to the mill frequently mention they found us in the magazine.
Rich and the team are great to work with and often pop along to our events to support us and take photos. Their professionalism, attention to detail and willingness to support local events and businesses are commendable, and truly appreciated.
From start to finish, they’ve demonstrated an understanding of our needs and consistently support us, bringing a level of passion and enthusiasm that is infectious.
Working with Your Local Lincs has been an enjoyable experience and we look forward to continuing our partnership in the future. Highly recommended!
Sleaford Town Council
Sleaford Town Council have been advertising in Your Local Lincs for a number of years now and we find that it is a very effective way to promote our events and council news. We have a full page in the publication every other month and this enables us to distribute information about the council to a wide area.
We have a very good working relationship with the Your Local Lincs team and they go above and beyond every time!
They are also very supportive of all our events for the town including the Sleaford 1940s Day and the Sleaford Christmas Market.
We can’t recommend Your Local Lincs highly enough and would recommend advertising in the publication to everyone!

Advertising with Your Local Lincs pays for itself. People like to use a local tradesman and this is the best place to advertise in our area.
Charity in the Community
As your essential community magazine, our community is naturally at our heart, and what is at the heart of every community? Charity.
We've been reflecting on the various campaigns we've supported during our 20 years of producing magazines. But what charity-related endeavours will we find on our pages in our 21st year? Is there something out there going on in our community that you would like us to know about? Whether you're a veteran organisation or an individual starting something new, we'd love to hear from you. Would you like us to give your charity some exposure? We're on the lookout for new philanthropic endeavours in our community and would love to hear about the worthy things going on around us.
