Lincoln New Theatre Royal

Lincoln New Theatre Royal, recently renovated to its full Victorian splendour, it is a cosy and intimate venue from which to see great plays, musicals and, of course, the ever-popular panto!

Built in 1893 to replace a previous theatre which had been destroyed by fire, Lincoln Theatre Royal showed popular plays and music hall acts. In 1907, the frontage of the theatre was extended – resulting in the Grade ll Listed Building we see today.

During the Second World War, it was very popular with RAF personnel from nearby airbases, including Guy Gibson, leader of the famous Dambusters Squadron, based at RAF Scampton.

In 2002, the best-selling author Jeffrey Archer, worked backstage at Lincoln’s Theatre Royal while serving part of his prison sentence at North Sea Camp open prison.
