OUR CULTURAL IMPACT... Our events programme is what we're best know for but did you know that we offer over 400 live arts experiences every year including the very best in theatre, comedy, music, dance, circus and our spectacular panto? Annually over 100,000 people enjoy these events.

OUR COMMUNITY IMPACT Running alongside our events programme, we offer extensive and growing learning and participation opportunities including: Creative play sessions and sensory workshops for pre-school children Fishtank drama classes for kids aged 3 to 16 Dreamland Drama classes for adults with learning disabilities The Butterfly Club social nights, annually serving over 1500 adults with learning disabilities The Caterpillar Club events at special educational needs schools across Lincolnshire. Full Bloom dance and movement classes for over 50s. Carousel Circus School for all ages and much more.
OUR ECONOMIC IMPACT We've also make a huge economic contribution to the city: Each year we contribute £1.75 million to the city’s economy. We generate an estimated £2.3 million in added economic activity annually. We pay over £200,000 for city-based goods and services each year

the Drill hall is a lovely place and showaddywaddy were amazing i really hope that showaddywaddy will be back there very soon i travelled from Sheffield and will definitely go again

Went to the 80s vs 90s silent disco night with a friend. Absolutely brilliant night, hospitable staff, excellent DJs, and drinks good prices. Definitely would go again in a heartbeat! The silent disco was a surreal but totally cool thing. Music makes you feel alive and you get in your own zone when your fave track comes on. Well silent dicso is literally a physical representation of that- 3 station on your eyephones, 3 different DJs, 3 different types of music. You can no doubt get in your zone with this night. Megally recommended!

Went to see the bluejays .. fantastic show a must see for lovers of 50s and 60s rock and roll music... Very friendly and helpful staff .. lovely venue..

Went to see Les Miserables with my granddaughter yesterday afternoon and can honestly say,this show was better than the one we saw in the westend a few weeks ago, we loved it and sang all the songs in the car on the way home....... A brilliant performance....well done to all the cast and crew.

We had our wedding at this amazing venue, the staff are brilliant and helped make our special day perfect. Thank you so much to everyone at the drill hall x

We had a great night at the las miserable show. Such amazing talent. From scenery to the singing just amazing. All staff are so friendly . A lovely place to go to..wether to a show or just for a drink.

Watched les miserables last and it was fantastic,singing and acting brilliant a perfect performance my hat is off to all involved. Bravo!!!

Was at the Pantomime yesterday, its final day for another season. Just want to say my family and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Great atmosphere, loved the music especially the guitar playing and tunes to sing along to. All characters good, I especially liked Silly Simon, very entertaining. Excited to see the Giant, he didn't disappoint, played a fabulous role. Very well done all concerned in puting on the production.

The staff are great, the venue is quirky, the ambience is great,the Saturday lunchtime music and reasonably priced food can’t be beaten. Long live the Drill Hall!

Saw Tom Allen last night. Friendly staff, comfortable seating, great view for me in the seated floor chairs. The show itself was great. Although a long queue for the bar, appeared to be organised, and drinks prices not too bad for a venue. Good experience on this visit.

My first visit to this theatre and I was very impressed. Spacious inside, comfortable seating with enough leg room, bar and very helpful friendly staff. Good variety of performances. Thoroughly enjoyed the Panto absolutely brilliant �Will definitely visit again. Travelled from Nottingham.

Jack Broadbent was fantastic, and the Drill Hall is a great venue - good view, comfortable seats, great atmosphere.

I had a genuinely lovely morning in the Cafe Bar listening to Ishani & Hilary's music while I drank my hot chocolate. The live jazz vocals and pianist was wonderful in the background, which set a very relaxing atmosphere for everyone. Even though I didn't know many of the songs, they were beautifully played and sung and I loved their cover of Cry Me A River. There were people eating and chatting away but they always clapped when the song finished, which showed everyone enjoyed the music too. There was a little one enjoying the toy area which just proves the drill hall accommodates for a variety of ages. And the staff were friendly and polite too. I would highly recommend all to pop in for a bite to eat and listen to the variety of live music that is provided on Saturdays!

Fantastic venue for wheelchair users, the staff were very friendly and helpful

Excellent venue..have visited several times and will continue to do so..staff always polite and helpful..if you haven’t been yet I highly recommend you do.

A great venue with a helpful crew for a very special concert.

Jazz Vehicle performed a lively programme and ‘Lincolnshire Skies’ composed and arranged by the talented Jonty Nowell.

Mark Steele was fabulous, loved the way he incorporated stuff from his 'In Town' visits to Lincolnshire. But my visit was marred by the fact that I lost my keys that night, possibly in the NCP car park next door. 4 keys, leather fob and tiny, brightly coloured penknife. Keys replaceable, but other things of great sentimental value. If you found them, please contact Drill Hall. Thank you!

Was a bit disappointed with the 80s v 90s disco last night, the first half was great, then from 11pm onwards the music was just awful, no requests were being accepted either, we got impression it was the djs choice only, l was in a group of 11 and the last hour we sat outside, not sure we will be back again, we've been to some great disco's at the drill Hall please bring them back!

The show was amanzing , no just man enjoy so did I. It's very expensive the program booklet you need to buy £3 and isnt the problem but you paying to the all the advertising shops from Lincoln which you normally get for free through your door , so should be for free anyway as part of your tickets or a printed program about the show .the show was excellent definately recommend the whole family can enjoy.
