WELCOME

LINCOLNSHIRE

elcome to the Platinum Jubilee edition of Lincolnshire

Pride, with a whole host of celebrations in this edition.

We're sending our warmest wishes to ‘The Queen

and recognising her 70 year reign with a roundup of
the Jubilee events planned in Lincolnshire, not least among which is the
Lincolnshire Show, returning for the first time since 2019.

Elsewhere we’re celebrating our own milestone: 20 years since Pride
Magazines was established. You can meet the team — and find out how tie
fashions have changed over the past two decades — later in this magazine.

Also this month, we’ve enjoyed dining out at The Bronze Pig, there’s a
beautiful property currently on the market in Uphill Lincoln, plus we’re

on a dairy farm near Market Rasen and

we enjoy Easton’s Walled Gardens. o- | 1
All this, plus a visit to Tattershall and oy
Coningsby, our featured villages for June. Executive Editor

Our best wishes, for a great month! [email protected]

This month, what else could we celebrate on our cover but The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee?
We're delighted to send Her Majesty our very best wishes and congratulations for an unprecedented
70 years reign, and we’re very happy to report that Lincolnshire will indeed be celebrating with
street parties, beacon lighting and of course, the return of the Lincolnshire Show!

We're always looking for scenes of Lincolnshire to feature on our covers and in the magazine.

Vale House is a newly
refurbished boutique guest
house located at the foot of the
Castle at the vibrant artisan
village with its independent
shops, bar and The Fuel Tank
restaurant.

Perfect for overnight stays,
the bespoke rooms have all
been beautifully designed and
detailed by the Duchess.

Vale House also revealed
the Duchess’s Parlour in the
building, a champagne and
tea parlour located on the
ground floor of Vale House,
which will also serve as a
breakfast area for guests.

Thursday to Sunday each
week offering a seasonal menu
of summer salads, seafood
platters, canapés and bubbles.

EWN The most egg-centric

event in Lincolnshire’s calendar
returns this month for the first
time since the pandemic.

The World Egg Throwing
Championships will take place
as part of Swaton Vintage
Day, a local event held in the
village on Sunday 26th June.

A programme of events
in the competition will see
participants engage in the
egg-throwing roulette, static
relay and trebuchet challenge
among other categories.

The finals take place in
the main arena at around
4pm prior to the awarding
of trophies.

It’s perfect for light lunches
and afternoon tea, with
pre-booking strongly

recommended.

The event takes place
adjacent to the 27th annual
Swaton Vintage Day which
features over 400 vintage and
classic cars, as well as a craft
tent, dog show, Lancaster and
Dakota flypast and displays of
everything from giant tortoises
to WWI re-enactments.

Swaton Vintage Day was
established in 1995, with the
addition of the World Egg
Throwing Championships in
2005. Since then, the events
have raised over £100,000
for causes including
Lincolnshire’s LIVES and for
the county’s Air Ambulance.

Cakes in the Gommons

LINCOLNSHIRE COMPANY SUPPLIES
CAKES TO THE HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT...

PMQs can sometimes
lead to the Commons being
a little fraught. What better to
calm all those politicians down,
then, than a lovely slice of cake?
The Lincoln-based Original
Cake Company is an indepen-
dent artisan bakery led by
Simon Woodiwiss and the
team has now started to supply
the Palaces of Westminster
including the House of
Commons’ cafés with their
delicious cakes, like their

chocolate cakes, created with
the best Belgian chocolate.

The company’s traditional
approach to baking has seen
the company win many Great
Taste awards and is helping to
put Lincolnshire on the
culinary map.

If it’s good enough for the
PM, it’s good enough for the
rest of us, and so the bakery’s
products are also available
from the company’s website.

Archie Bear’s career takes off
FUNDRAISING TEDDY BEAR, FLT LT ARCHIE, GAINS HIS

The RAF has
gained a new pilot in the form
of Flt Lt Archie Bear. He’s a
little shorter than other pilots
but what he lacks in stature, he
makes up for in enthusiasm and
his desire to raise money for
charity.

Claire Hartley purchased
the bear and obtained his pilot’s
flying logbook so Archie can fly
with the BBME Red Arrows,
Blades Aerobatic and ‘Typhoon
display teams, the pilots of which
will all sign the book, before
Archie — and his pilot’s log — are
auctioned off to raise money for
the RAF Benevolent Fund at the
end of the season in September.
