Festive Joy in Lincoln

In the third weekend of Advent, the Rev Kate Bottley is in Lincoln to explore its famous Christmas market. She meets Christian stall holders to hear the role that faith plays in their businesses. She also discovers the hidden treasures within the city’s magnificent Gothic cathedral, including its unique Nativity scene.

Mark De-Lisser meets Sian Wade from Bridge Church and finds out how Lincoln comes together each year to provide Christmas gifts for local people in need through their Christmas Sack Appeal. And Kate meets Aric Prentice, director of music for the cathedral, to learn about the history of Christmas caroling and to hear some of the cathedral choir members talk about the joy they feel to be back singing carols together at this time of year.
