Escape the Rain: 5 Indoor Day Trips in Lincolnshire

Summer weather in the UK is notoriously iffy - none more so than today, where it has started out reasonably sunny...but is now drizzly and grey.

Planning a day out all the same? We've put our heads together this morning to come up with 5 ideas for enjoying Lincolnshire this summer away from the elements.

Waters’ Edge Country Park and Visitor Centre, Barton upon Humber
North Lincolnshire’s ‘greenest’ attraction. This eco friendly building has interactive displays about caring for the environment and the wildlife of the Humber estuary. There's also a Bank Holiday craft fair on 29th-31st August which will be worth a look. watersedgecountrypark.org

Battle of Britain Memorial Flight Visitors Centre
Get up close to one of only 2 flying Lancaster Bombers in the world - pretty amazing if you love flying, planes or a bit of English wartime history! Along with a vast selection of other aircraft you'll hear real life stories of wartime heroes on your guided tour of the hanger. http://bit.ly/battleofbritainmf
Batemans Brewery Visitor Centre
Batemans Brewery is one of the country's oldest family breweries brewing some of the finest beers in the UK. After your tour of the Brewery Visitors Centre you can pay a visit to the circular Windmill Bar for bite to eat and a sample or two of beer. http://bit.ly/batemans

Butlins, Skegness
Where better to spend your time at the seaside than the original Butlins Resort? Take the kids and have a water adventure in their sub-tropical Splash Waterworld. Little ones will also love the Looney Tunes' characters and Bob the Builder entertaining with stage and screen shows. butlins.com/resorts/skegness/

Fishing Heritage Centre, Grimsby
Interactive Fishing Experience – Sign in as a crew member and take part in Grimsby’s maritime story. Search for your catch in the Skippers Wheelhouse, haul the nets to the deck and feel the freezing winds and lashing rain as you journey back to ‘dry-land’. You can even book your tickets online in advance through Visit Lincolnshire. http://bit.ly/fishingheritagecentre
