Visiting WEL 2021

Please note that West End Lights is not an organised event, but an invitation to local residents to illuminate their homes and show visual artwork on their properties, and to the Lincoln community to have a stroll in the beautiful Westend at this night that shines. The organisers are only facilitating communication in the community but in no way endorse or police the illuminations and people’s behaviour. Please read also our guidelines in relation to COVID-19. Finally, please respect that the West End is a residential area with very limited parking available. West End Lights is a walking event. If you need to drive through the West End, please do so with extra care.

Lockdown reflections
