Light Up Lincoln – reminder to businesses
Organisers of Light Up Lincoln scheme are reminding businesses that decorations can be picked up this afternoon and tomorrow for their shops and offices.
Light Up Lincoln – One Window at a Time has been made possible by Fizzco, the Lincolnshire-based Christmas installation specialists, which has offered a range of decorations free of charge to independently owned SMEs and micro-businesses within Lincoln city centre.
The aim of the loan scheme organised in partnership with City of Lincoln Council is to create a magical festive atmosphere across the city while championing local independent businesses.
The council’s Rebecca Taylor said around 25 businesses had signed up to the scheme and she joped more would join over the next couple of days.
On Monday and Tuesday of next week a selection of garlands, wall-mounted Christmas trees (for businesses with outside brackets) and baubles will be available to collect from Lincoln’s Cornhill Market on Sincil Street (LN5 7ET).
“We are delighted to support ‘Light Up Lincoln – One Window at a Time.’ This initiative not only enhances the city’s festive appeal but also reinforces our commitment to helping small businesses thrive. By working together, we can make Lincoln a truly magical place to visit this Christmas.” – said Rebecca.
“The project aligns perfectly with Small Business Saturday, December 6 encouraging residents and visitors to shop local and support independent businesses during the busiest retail season of the year.

Wendy Hollingsworth-Brown, Managing Director, Fizzco added: “As a proud Lincoln SME, we’ve always believed in supporting other small businesses.
