Grantham offers creative and cultural options. This week, you can try a hands-on craft session or enjoy an evening of live comedy. While the town centre has limited parking during peak times, especially in Spittlegate and Harlaxton Road, some events are accessible via the A1 bypass. Be mindful of congestion on the A1 near the town centre. The River Witham can flood during heavy rain, and delays occur at Gonerby Hill Foot junction due to poultry transport.
