Makers' Markets are held on the third Sunday of every month at the Engine Yard, Belvoir Castle.

This is a new market and growing at each event. The Engine Yard is a vibrant and bustling retail park run by the Belvoir Estate with a great range of shops from interiors & fashion to high end coffee, chocolate & a luxury spa.

New traders, street vendors & entertainers are welcomed for a market that is sure to go from strength to strength. Once you have looked round the market there are plenty of beautiful stores open and of course the Fuel Tank cafe to go and relax over a cuppa & cake.

New this month is Wayne Glover selling his beautiful hand made items made from reclaimed wood.
Also new is Nina from NB Cubcakes selling delicious traybakes, cupcakes & cookies.

Stay tuned for details of confirmed traders coming soon. :)

For more details on what's available at The Engine Yard.

Taking tea in the afternoon is a tradition that has been enjoyed since the early nineteenth century when the Duchess of Bedford is credited with introducing the custom to fill the long gap between luncheon and dinner.

Afternoon tea is served in the Drawing Room and Breakfast Room at Allington Manor and when the weather permits during the summer, it can be enjoyed on the manor garden lawn. Afternoon tea is hosted on selected Tuesdays, Saturdays and Sunday afternoons between 2:30pm - 5:30pm (last table booking 4pm).

The occasion is perfect for small gatherings as well as for birthday celebrations or club and society social meetings. If you would like to arrange afternoon tea for a group of twelve or more people, we welcome private bookings and invite you to contact us to arrange an afternoon that suits your group.

Our selection of loose leaf teas are sourced by Stokes of Lincoln and our cakes are freshly prepared by Wendy Richardson in Orston, both of which are well renowned suppliers in Lincolnshire and the East Midlands.

Motorsport at Grimsthorpe Castle started in 1903 with members of the Lincolnshire Automobile Club holding the first timed runs over a half mile course in the old deer park.

These early pioneers were the first owners of motorcycles and cars in the UK, eager to show and test their vehicles.

Over a century later we are reviving the spirit of these early meetings used by pioneer racers to prove their machines and driving skill, transporting you back in time to the early days of British Motorsport with over 100 cars and motorcycles from the pre-war and Edwardian periods.

All our ticket holders have full access to the Castle and grounds.
During the day, there is the opportunity to get up close to the action and talk to the drivers & riders.
