Norfolk’s Only Trading Standards Approved DJ · Rated 4.9 out of 5 from more than 250 reviews

Tim Daymond, Tinsel Tim

Lincolnshire is one of England’s most underrated counties for weddings and parties. It runs from Lincoln’s Cathedral Quarter to the Wolds, and from Stamford’s honey-coloured stone to the coast. I’m Tim Daymond, known as Tinsel Tim, and I’ve been a DJ since 1976.

However, each type of space brings its own demands. So here’s my guide to the county’s venues, plus what to plan before you book your entertainment.

What Matters When Booking DJ Hire for Lincolnshire Venues

First, search online and you’ll find hundreds of names. However, a few checks quickly show who you’re really booking.

  • Who turns up. I play every booking personally, so the person you meet is the person on the night.
  • Independent vetting. I’m Trading Standards Approved under the Norfolk County Council scheme (ID 0000457).
  • Safety paperwork. I hold £10 million public liability insurance, PAT-tested kit and an Enhanced DBS check.
  • Room know-how. Listed buildings need careful planning around limiters, power and load-in times.

Also, my rating stands at 4.9 out of 5 from more than 250 reviews. You can read them on my reviews page.

DJ Hire at Lincolnshire Venues, Area by Area

Many couples now choose historic halls over rustic barns. That’s a lovely trend, yet these rooms bring their own technical quirks.

Lincoln and the North of the County

Doddington Hall

A Grade I listed Elizabethan manor with remarkable architecture. So it rewards careful sound planning in a heritage space.

The Lawn, Lincoln

A Georgian hospital conversion in the city centre. Plus, it has real character and strong event facilities.

Venue 360

Cathedral views and a more modern layout. So it suits couples who want a contemporary feel.

The Engine Shed

Best suited to larger receptions, because it handles big numbers with ease.

Cleatham Hall

An award-winning historic venue in North Lincolnshire. Its listed status means the music must respect the building.

Stallingborough Grange

A well-regarded restaurant venue near Grimsby. Also, it has a strong events reputation.

Bardney Hall

Queen Anne architecture in a handsome setting.

Hemswell Court

An exclusive use venue, so you get privacy for your whole party.

Grantham and Stamford

Stoke Rochford Hall

A landmark country house with 28 acres of parkland. Then again, its listed building rules make it a technically demanding room.

Belton Woods Hotel

A 475-acre estate with an easier event layout. So set-up is usually simple.

The Angel and Royal Hotel

Coaching inn character dating back to the 13th century, right in Grantham.

Allington Manor

Another exclusive use venue for couples who want the place to themselves.

The William Cecil, Stamford

It sits on the edge of the Burghley Estate. So it suits a refined, measured evening that builds to a lively finish.

The Wolds and the Coast

Kenwick Park Estate

A luxury hotel near Louth with a genuine country house feel.

Scrivelsby Walled Garden

An award-winning outdoor and barn venue. However, outdoor sections need their own sound set-up.

Aswarby Rectory

An intimate, restored countryside venue. Therefore, it suits smaller guest lists and personal celebrations.

Batemans Brewery

A heritage brewery in Wainfleet, near Skegness. Plus, it has industrial character and a surprisingly warm sound.

Spalding and South Lincolnshire

The Sessions House, Spalding

A historic building in the heart of the market town. Also, it’s a popular choice for smaller, stylish weddings.

Sound Limiters and Historic Rooms

Many of the county’s finest rooms sit inside listed buildings. As a result, sound limiters and noise curfews are common.

In short, a limiter cuts the power if the volume passes a set level. So I check the sensor position, set my levels early and keep the floor busy within the limit. I’ve never left a dance floor silent from a limiter cut.

Rural venues also bring longer access routes and earlier noise curfews. Therefore, I plan arrival and load-in times with you in your client portal. For more detail, read my guide to wedding DJ sound limiters.

Tim’s tip: Ask your venue for its limiter level and finishing time when you book. Then share both in your portal, so the evening runs smoothly.
