The Beonna at All Saints Church

All Saints Church in Boston houses The Beonna, an arts centre that occupies a proper medieval church space with all the architectural drama you'd expect - soaring ceilings, stone walls, the works. It's a working gallery and performance venue rather than a museum, so what's on changes seasonally. When I visited, they had local artists exhibiting alongside touring shows, and the contrast between contemporary work and 400-year-old stonework was genuinely striking.

You're looking at anything from visual art to live music, theatre, and community events. The space itself does half the heavy lifting - standing under those vaults while watching a performance feels properly special, even if what's happening on stage is modest. It's the kind of place that rewards lingering, though realistically you'll spend between 45 minutes to an hour here depending on what's showing.

Historically minded visitors will get the most from it, especially if the exhibition leans into local heritage. Families with older children work well too, though younger kids might find it a bit static. The setting matters more than the content for them.

Boston itself is a manageable town with decent high street amenities. If you're basing yourself at Long Acres Touring Park just down the road, The Beonna makes an easy afternoon stop - worth combining with a walk through Boston's Georgian centre and the River Witham. Check ahead for what's on; an empty gallery in an old church is atmospheric but not a patch on catching something live.
