This spring, we present In Their Words, a season celebrating the voices, experiences, and creativity of women shaping our world. With original commissions, artworks, and performances, the programme highlights resilience, imagination, and connection in women’s stories.
We open with Community Film Celebration (16 Jan), in partnership with University of Lincoln’s Film Production programmes and Lincoln City Council, showcasing community groups in Lincoln. Alongside, Women on Film premieres, celebrating women from all backgrounds making an impact locally, viewable across our digital channels and building.
Other season highlights include LAS Theatre’s The Littlest Yak (7–8 Mar), nominated for four OffWestEnd Awards; Stuff and Nonsense Theatre Company’s The Adventures of The Little Red Hen (10–11 Apr); and Yukiko Masui’s RONiN (25 Apr), where dance, swordplay, and digital projections tell the story of a lone female swordfighter.
In visual arts, we’re working with Extraordinary Uson Museum of Me (Mar), transforming our public spaces to celebrate the women who make Lincoln thrive, and with Mansfield Museum on Womansfield (3-23 Apr), showcasing “Creative Women Together,”.
Local voices feature strongly: The Whore Queen (13 Feb) by Ellie Grace retells Anne Boleyn’s story, and Sugar Theatre’s F*ck You Claire (13 Mar) explores the mid-twenties experience. Both emerged from Demo, our platform for new work, returning this spring (5 Feb).
Lincoln School of Creative Arts contributes with Titus Andronicus (20 Jan), Macbeth (22 Jan), Dance Showcase (30 Jan), Music Showcase (23-25 Mar) and Launch Fest (Apr), while youth dance platform True Motion returns (14 Mar) with its biggest programme yet.
Finally, Indie Lincs (5–7 Feb) champions bold, original low- and micro-budget films, no remakes, no sequels, celebrating creativity, connection, and cinematic storytelling in Lincoln.
As the spring season draws to a close, we look ahead to the activities we’ve got lined up in the summer. Musical Theatre students will provide a plethora of musical delights again this year as part of their Summer of Musicals line-up, focusing on mistaken identity and gender play. We’ll also have the second iteration of Have A LAFFF! (Lincoln Arts Family Fun Fest) in July to kick off the summer holidays with your little ones, including an enhanced programme of free or affordable activities for families, only made possible by donations to Every Child.
Brochure in Word Document form:
Lincoln Arts Centre is calling on the public to help 1,000 children experience live arts for free this Autumn and for a limited time, every donation will be doubled. A local charitable foundation will match donations up to £5,000, instantly doubling the impact of every gift.
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.
Indie-Lincs is an international film festival that champions micro budget feature length and short films, and you the filmmakers. We pride ourselves, and have had superb feedback, on our welcoming atmosphere at the festival.
Making bread is hard work, but it would be a lot easier if the lazy farmyard animals got off their reclining sofas and lent a hand!
