11 September – 1 October

At POP OUT you can expect the best new plays, family shows, music, comedy and site-specific performance, all taking place in spaces outside of our venue.

The festival is a great opportunity to uncover hidden gems and try something different. You can even experience a little slice of the Edinburgh Festival with the return of the wonderful Roundabout, Paines Plough’s touring amphitheatre, visiting Lincoln fresh from the Fringe.

This year, as well popping out of our building, we are also popping up at Waterside Shopping Centre. This exciting partnership with one of city’s major retail destinations will see a three-week residency leading up to the main festival, with a programme full of performances and participatory activities suitable for the whole family.
