Drill Hall Lines Up Second Polish Day
All things Polish will be on offer at the Lincoln Drill Hall during a special day-long event.
Following on from the huge success of Polish Cultural Day last year, the venue is once again hosting the event and organisers say it will be fantastyczny - or fantastic in English.
Visitors can brush up on their Polish speaking skills, enjoy a cultural display and sample some traditional food at the event on May 3.
Marysia Flilip (31), of Monks Road, Lincoln, , a member of the city's Polish Group, says the event is meant to help bring communities together.
"The idea is to integrate migrant workers into the community through art, physical contact and just being with other cultures," said Miss Filip, a care worker for Rayners in Lincoln.
And she says it's not just for Poles - the event can also be a chance for other foreigners to get to know the area and people they are living with.
"All these communities live next to each other side by side, leading parallel lives, yet our roads never cross."
As well as teaching the local community about Poland, there will also be representatives from the police, Lincolnshire County Council and the NHS to explain what services are on offer in the county.
