Run by East Lindsey District Council, the festival took its inspiration from London 2012, with former Olympic swimmer turned BBC presenter Mark Foster the star attraction on Saturday night.

The programme included more than sixty events from calligraphy to graffiti, Lincolnshire dialect to folk rock, paper-making to book illustration, as well as films, plays, walks, talks and even a knitter-in-residence.
