As part of the Lincolnshire Wolds Outdoor Festival, which is celebrating fifty years of the Viking Way this year, we’re opening the doors once again for guided hard hat tours of 2–4 Market Place, Caistor – much like our fully-booked Heritage Open Days tours last September.

What to expect:

  • A guided walkthrough of the building and units (hard hat tour)
  • Progress updates and a preview of what’s coming next
  • Time to ask your questions

Tour times:

  • Morning tour – 11am start, arrive at 10:45am
  • Afternoon tour – 1pm start, arrive at 12:45pm

Good to know:

  • Although, this phase is nearing completion, this is a live construction site, so suitable footwear and clothing is recommended
  • Some areas may be uneven or have limited access while works continue
  • The tours include several flights of stairs
  • Each tour will last approximately 1 hour
