An Exhibition of the History of Stickney has been organised to be held in the Village Hall on the 13th & 14th September 2025.
Open 10am to 6pm both days.
Step back in time and see how the village used to look. Learn about the different trades and people that worked and socialised in the village.
Searching for your ancestors? Come and look through our vast collections of BMD of Stickney and surrounding areas. Census from 1841 and now 1921.
On display will be the censuses for Stickney & many of the surrounding villages and over 800 photographs. Baptisms, Burials & Marriages, records of Stickney and other local Churches and many newspaper cuttings from the village past. There are many booklets about the history of Beer houses, Shops, and the numerous trades that once thrived in the parish, and a display of over 100 letter heads, trade bills & much more. We would always appreciate old photos to copy or anything to do with the history of Stickney.
New to this event is a 700-year timeline of the village compiled by two local artists.
Free admission.

previous events
Once again the Stickney History exhibition proved very popular. More than 350 people attended over the two day period. There were visitors from far and wide including an American couple who came from France, researching their family name of Stickney. Others travelled from Essex, Derbyshire and Nottingham as well as many local people.
From the feedback forms the general consensus was that everyone found the exhibition very interesting and many gained much information. The donations of £350 were given to Lincs and Nottingham Air Ambulance and the Stickney Village Hall committee.
Martin and Bev would like to thank all who came and supported their event.
