Getting there
7 km (4.3 mi) to Lincoln Airport (LNK). At that distance the transfer is not a planning problem, which is rarer than it sounds.
The centre of Lincoln is 3 km (1.9 mi) away, which is a taxi rather than a walk and a reason to publish an arrival map.
Lincoln has 33 venues mapped in total and a population of 300,619. The Lincoln guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
Formats this suits
A room for 7,000 is a plenary space in practice, whatever it is classified as. It ranks 4th among the 33 venues mapped in Lincoln.
- award ceremonies
A stage, a bowl of seats and a control room already in place.
- company all-hands
One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.
