Spotlight on Burcu Guney Yilmaz, our Researcher in Residence
We are thrilled to spotlight Burcu, the Researcher in Residence at Lincoln Arts Centre and the Barbican Creative Hub.
Lincoln Performing Arts Centre’s operations have been severely affected by the current pandemic and so to help retain our employees and reduce the long-term impact on the venue during a time when we are unable to trade, University of Lincoln has opted to take part in the UK Government’s Coronavirus Job Retention scheme and so has placed its staff on furlough. Upon the staff’s return your enquiry will be answered as soon as possible. We are very grateful for your patience and understanding during this time. Please see FAQ’s below:
Is the venue open?
– Our building is currently closed until at next Spring. When an official re-opening date has been set our audiences will be contacted as soon as possible.
When staff will be returning?
– At this stage we cannot confirm when our staff will be returning but you can keep updated with all the goings on at the theatre by signing up to our mailing list here https://lpac.co.uk/mailing-list/ or following on social media.
Can I book for future events?
– At this time we have had to take many of the Autumn/ Winter season events off sale due to the limited staff capacity and the uncertainty surrounding government guidelines for live events. You may still be able to book for events scheduled for this summer or 2021. Should you have any difficulties with this a staff member will be in touch upon their return.
I booked for an event but it asked me to confirm household/ bubble, what does this mean?
– At the moment a lot of neighbouring towns and cities are moving into Tier 2 and Tier 3. The restrictions in these ares include only being able to attend venues, such as theatre, in your households or bubbles. Whilst we are still in Tier 1, we want to keep our audiences safe and abide by government guidelines, with this in mind we are asking customers to confirm that when they are attending our venue they are attending in their households or bubbles.

I would like to have the tickets credited to my account to use for a later date, how do I do this?
