Highly recommended
This November we celebrate 800 years since the issue of the Charter of the Forest.
Family Friendly
To mark this occasion, alongside our regular programme, we are hosting a series of events that engage with Charter’s legacy. One of the most important concepts behind the document is the idea of common access to private land, so this autumn we plan to open up parts of Lincoln to the public through site-specific and outdoor arts events. The largest of these is Pop Out Festival in September. We’ll be announcing the full line-up in late summer, which will include a return of Paines Plough’s touring theatre Roundabout but also an exciting partnership with Waterside Shopping Centre that will literally have us setting up shop for a three-week residency of pop-up theatre, family fun, music and arts experiences, inviting you to see your city differently.
Insight
We are also placing the Charter of the Forest at the heart of this year’s family Christmas Show – The Adventures of Robin Hood & Maid Marian – which will see the fight for justice take centre stage in a rip-roaring adventure. Full of magic and festive fun this will be the ideal way to round off another great year of arts and entertainment before we set our sites on 2018 and our 10th Birthday! See You Soon! The Team.
Director’s Choice We have many great events on offer this season but if you like something a bit different, look out for this icon. I highly recommend it!

We Are Brontë
Thursday 9 November 8pm
Saturday 11 November, 7.30pm
Robert has lived a full and happy life and he cherishes his memories. But when his mind begins to falter Robert struggles to piece together fact and fiction, the past and the present.
Morecambe and Wise meets David Lynch in this madcap reimagining of the Brontë myth, presented in Publick Transport’s irreverent and playful style. Taking the real and imaginary worlds of Yorkshire’s literary siblings as their inspiration, two performers combine rigorous physical theatre with anarchic comedy.
A physical theatre show that explores a fragile mind searching for answers and examines how we care and support those at risk of losing themselves.
