Phil Hammond: Happy Birthday NHS?

At Lincoln Drill Hall Wednesday 17 October 7.30 pm

Dr Phil charts the course of the NHS from 1948 to as long as she lasts. Come cheer the heroes, boo the villains and look to the future of robot surgeons, Fitbit nurses and iPhone GPs. Batteries not included.

Jason Byrne: The Man with Three Brains coming to Lincoln Drill Hall

Jason Byrne: The Man with Three Brains

Friday 10 November 8 pm at Lincoln Drill Hall

Jason has three brains; his left brain scans the audience and room, looking for improvements, his right brain collates stand-up material and stunts and his centre brain is Jason’s coach, pushing him to the limit. The fastest thinking comic around will not only trip himself up, but probably you too!

“Watching a new Jason Byrne show is a bit like witnessing lightning in a bottle.”

SPRING STORIES AT LINCOLN DRILL HALL

The stories we're telling this spring...  SPRING STORIES AT LINCOLN DRILL HALL Because you've attended similar events in the past we thought you might find our SPRING STORIES guide useful. It covers plays at Lincoln Drill Hall up to and including April. Why haven't we called it a 'play guide' then?  Well there are all sorts of different styles of plays but the common link they all share is that they tell a story, so we felt that might be the best way to link them together. You can watch clips of most of the shows by clicking the pictures to get a sense of what the show will be like but we've also included a brief description of each one. Our spacious bar is open from 1hr prior to a performance so you can come in and make yourself comfortable, plus you can pre-order your interval drinks to avoid the queues.  Parking can be found in any of the city's car parks, most of which are within a short walk from the venue, and there are disabled parking bays along Freeschool Lane and Saltergate. If there's anything you'd like to ask that we've not mentioned please don't hesitate to get in touch.   We look forward to welcoming you soon! By the way, you can save up to £3 per ticket if you purchase our 'Spring Season Saver' events! Look for the badge on participating shows...
