Part of BTM Heritage Events Ltd, Lindum Heritage is a well-established, privately owned Company based in Lincoln, Lincolnshire, specialising in the promotion of Heritage through smaller group, high quality, well-organised and friendly short break experiences and events.

OUR MISSION STATEMENT

Our aim, always, is to provide our customers with the highest quality experience possible whilst, at all times, delivering a personal and friendly approach. We will strive to involve and encourage the use of as many heritage related sites and attractions as possible in all that we do and deliver them in a well organised, secure and pleasant environment.

We care passionately about our archaeological and historic past and want everyone to have the best opportunity to explore it through a supportive and high quality experience.

Our overriding objective is to secure and retain customer loyalty by providing value for money whilst, at all times, being honest, approachable and focusing on our customer needs and requirements so that we become the supplier of choice in our market place.

We care passionately about our archaeological and historic past and want everyone to have the best opportunity to explore it through a supportive and high quality experience. Our short-break experiences will give you the chance to get to know the various cities and counties we visit whilst learning about aspects of the past that you are interested in.

Through attendance at our events you will be able to access areas not normally available to the general public and also meet and socialise with like minded individuals in a smaller, more personally focused group size. The social aspect of our events is stated as being a major factor by many attendees who return year after year.

Although based in Lincolnshire - where many of our short breaks take place- we are not limited to the county; wherever there is heritage in need of exploration we will be there!

At Lindum Heritage we always strive to improve the already very high quality of our experiences and always welcome comments and suggestions from participants. If you have an idea for an experience that you would like to see us run please let us know. We are also able to arrange bespoke tour experiences and courses for groups of any size, large or small.
