Where has that civic year gone??!! Removal of the early 18th century table in the chamber of the City of Lincoln Council took place yesterday in readiness for the ancient annual Mayor Making ceremony on the 19th May. Lincoln has had a Mayor since at least 1206 AD, but the title probably existed before then. Living history in action. 😊

Every Child is Lincoln Arts Centre’s donation scheme to make certain every child (under 12) can get creative with a visit to our purpose-built facility. Whether that be watching a show, learning a new skill or expressing themselves through their own performance or visual art.

It’s easy to donate. Just head to our website or add an optional donation when you buy a ticket.

Help us make sure that every child is welcomed into the Lincoln Arts Centre and more people can have amazing experiences .
