The park and ride, which was used by 12,000 people last year, will operate from Lincolnshire Showground on the A15 just north of Lincoln.

Holly Parker, events officer at the City of Lincoln Council, which organises the market, said: "As the Christmas market takes place around uphill Lincoln, many of the streets are closed or have parking restrictions.

"To ease congestion and disruption for local residents, the park and ride service drops visitors off right in the heart of the market area so they can enjoy the fabulous atmosphere, without the stress of finding a parking space."
