Historic towns

Sleaford’s rich history is coupled with a bright future...

A traditional market town at heart, with a rich array of independent shops jostled alongside recognised national brands, Sleaford enjoys a unique and vibrant mix of shopping opportunities.

With the scenic River Slea flowing through, there is unrivalled access to open space, nature, active leisure, easy relaxation, way-marked walking trails, fine architectural heritage, contemporary culture and creative opportunity at every turn.

The beautiful St Denys’ Church overlooks a traditional yet vibrant marketplace: Sleaford is a town with an abundant history.

Sleaford is also a town that looks towards the future. Regeneration projects have brought fresh aspects to the Market Place, to the riverside, to the historic Cogglesford Watermill and to the National Centre for Craft and Design at The Hub, with its new waterfront terrace.

Remodelled within a vibrant arts hub, the National Centre includes new gallery spaces, multi-use studios workshop and a larger, more vibrant cafe-bar and shop areas.

North Hykeham is ideally located to explore the delights of the historic city of Lincoln, surrounding countryside and catch a glimpse of the worldfamous Red Arrows practicing locally. A more modern town with a Roman road at its core, award-winning leisure facilities at ONE NK, a vintage transport museum and Whisby Nature Park in close proximity, North Hykeham is a further leaping off point for some great adventures.

“The National Centre for Craft and Design is located in historic Sleaford with free exhibitions throughout the year”
