Plans have been revealed to scrap Lincoln's iconic Christmas Market.

Instead smaller events could be out on.

The 4 day historic market delighted over 3 hundred thousand visitors to the city last year and is said to provide a huge tourism boost with many local traders saying it's vital to their business.

But now the City of Lincoln Council is looking to end the event.

They say it's as a result of feedback from locals and that having so many people in such a small space can be uncomfortable.

Instead a programme of smaller event throughout the year they're confident will bring visitors to the city.

Later this month proposals will be discussed which could see the four day event set aside

instead the budget for it would be split across the year with smaller events taking place

No decision has yet been made yet though.
