The National Centre for Craft & Design opened as The Hub in 2003 with support from a Single Regeneration Budget grant.
It attracts 90,000 visitors on average each year and houses exhibitions of applied and contemporary art.

The Playhouse theatre on Westgate was constructed in 1825, and sold in 1856 to be converted into an infants school and later a library and offices.
In 1994, Sleaford Little Theatre bought and restored it and in 2000 it opened to the public.
The Sleaford Picturedrome opened in 1920; the cinema closed in 2000 and the building became a snooker hall and then a nightclub that closed in 2008.

Sleaford Museum Trust was formed in the 1970s to collect and preserve historical artefacts from the town's history.
A Heritage Lottery Fund grant of more than £94,000 in December 2013 allowed the trust to establish a museum on Southgate, which opened in April 2015.
Sleaford and District Civic Trust was founded in 1972 to "preserve the best features" of the town.

There is a volunteer twinning association, the Sleaford and District Town Twinning Association, which was founded in 1999.
The association has created and maintains links and annual visits with Marquette-lez-Lille in France since 1999, and with Fredersdorf-Vogelsdorf in Germany since 2009.
