Guildhall Springs is a coastal marsh and saltings located in Lincolnshire, England. Situated along the eastern coast of the county, it is part of the wider Saltfleetby-Theddlethorpe Dunes and Gibraltar Point Nature Reserve.

This unique landscape is characterized by sprawling salt marshes, mudflats, and sand dunes, making it an important habitat for numerous plant and animal species. The marshes are largely influenced by tidal movements, with saltwater flowing in and out of the area, creating a brackish environment that supports a diverse range of species.

Guildhall Springs is home to a variety of bird species, including wading birds such as avocets, redshanks, and oystercatchers. The marshes also provide an important breeding ground for several rare and endangered species, such as the little tern and the natterjack toad.

The area is not only significant for its wildlife, but it also holds historical importance. The name "Guildhall Springs" refers to a medieval guildhall that once stood in the vicinity, serving as a meeting place for local tradesmen and officials.

Visitors to Guildhall Springs can enjoy the picturesque scenery and observe the rich biodiversity. There are several walking trails and observation points that offer stunning views of the marshes and the surrounding coastal landscape. The area is a popular destination for nature enthusiasts, birdwatchers, and photographers seeking to capture the beauty of this unique coastal ecosystem.

RiverLight Festival installation One of a number of things to see at the RiverLight (sic) festival held over the weekend of 19th/20th March 2022.  St Deny's church spire behind takes it all in its stride.

This particular installation is called 'Octo', by Dream Engine and features an acrobat 'inside' during an aerial performance.
