Theatre & Film

Whether you want to experience the magic of the movies, or immerse yourself in the performing arts, Lincoln offers an array of exciting options. From watching big names on big stages, to sharing intimate moments with amateur actors, you can enjoy a whole host of experiences – and emotions – here.

The New Theatre Royal showcases the very best in theatre, dance and music, whilst the Lincoln Arts Centre provides a space for new creatives to explore. For performances with a historic backdrop, Lincoln Cathedral and Lincoln Castle boast the most beautiful event spaces  – many of which have been featured on the big screen themselves. Movies like Napoleon, the Victoria and the Da Vinci Code have all been filmed here, as well as TV shows like Downtown Abbey.

If you’re in need of some more Hollywood glitz and glamour, the Odeon and Everyman cinemas should provide a welcome escape from reality. Popcorn at the ready – these cinemas showcase all the latest blockbusters,  and host special events throughout the year. 

Just outside of Lincoln, you will find the incredible Kinema in the Woods. Situated in Woodhall Spa, this hidden gem has been showing films since 1922. Screening both new movies and old classics, you can enjoy a wonderfully nostalgic experience here.
