February in Sleaford & Surrounding Villages
February is our birthday month, and this year we’re celebrating a very special milestone as the magazine turns 21!
From those humble beginnings back in 2005, when our company director (still at the helm today!) personally delivered the magazine while looking after her newborn daughter, to where we are now, a trusted fixture in the community. It’s been quite a journey!
Twenty-one years later, as we proudly “get the key to the door,” we’re still the magazine that comes through your door each month. And, just like all those years ago, it continues to be run by people of this community. We live here, we grew up here, and we work right here in Sleaford. We know this place pretty well. But more importantly, we genuinely care about it. Connecting you with local events, businesses, charities, and everything in between remains at the heart of what we do.
One feature our readers always get excited about is our monthly competitions. You may have seen us mention this on Facebook recently. We’re currently building our slate of competitions for the year and still have room for a few more. If you’re a local business with a suitable prize and fancy a bit of extra exposure, we’d love to hear from you. You don’t need to be an advertiser to take part. It’s simply a great chance to collaborate.
So what’s this month’s prize? We’re teaming up with the Sleaford Playhouse to give away tickets for their brilliant new cinema. Have you been yet? Set up by the Sleaford Little Theatre charity, they’ve installed cinema-grade equipment and brought the magic of the silver screen back to the town for the first time in 25 years. They’ve got a great line-up and audiences are growing fast.
February is also the month of love; fittingly, on the 21st we see the next community event at the Market Place, all about giving your heart the love it deserves. Expect pop-up activities such as rock climbing and a football shoot-out, all focusing on healthier lifestyles and wellbeing. Running up to that, the Market Place will also see the return of the heart seat as part of the Love Sleaford campaign. Write on a tag what you love about our town and attach it to this heart.
Don’t forget, Valentine’s Day falls on the 14th, and Pancake Day is just a few days later on the 17th. That same day is also the start of the Chinese New Year. Check out February’s YLL to find out what animal is celebrated this year!
For 21 years we’ve been proud to champion local businesses, big and small, and to help shine a light on the incredible things happening across our community. If you’d like to find out what an advert with us could do for you, just get in touch. Whether you’ve just launched a business or you’ve been around as long as we have, we’d love to help you get in front of our readers.
Heartfelt wishes for a great month, and we’ll see you next time!

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!

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 21 years of producing magazines. But what charity-related endeavours will we find on our pages in our 22nd 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.
