The organisation formally known as LPAC will be re-launched under a new name after a consultation which saw 260 students, staff and audience members co-design a new organisational vision and a plan for transformation in four key areas: People, Perception, Programme and Place.

Thousands of community-contributed images will form a striking new digital artwork commemorating 80 years since the end of World War II, to be unveiled in Lincoln this November.

Poetry, podcasts, fiction, and family fun all feature in the newly released programme for Lincoln Book Festival 2025, which runs from 2–5 October at venues across the historic city of Lincoln.
