Lincoln Drill Hall, Grade II listed music venue in Lincoln, England.
Lincoln Drill Hall is a Grade II listed music venue in Lincoln featuring a main auditorium that holds approximately 500 people. The space hosts concerts, theatrical productions, and community events throughout the year.
The building was constructed in 1890 for the 1st Lincolnshire Rifle Volunteers as a military training facility. Over time it gradually transformed into an entertainment venue for music and theater.
The venue retains its name from its original function as a military drilling ground, though today it serves primarily as a cultural gathering place. Visitors notice how this space balances the memory of its past while functioning as an active center for theater and live music.
The venue typically opens its doors around 19:00 or 19:30 for evening performances. Visitors should check in advance what type of event is happening and plan their arrival accordingly.
The building closed in 2020 but was rescued through extensive renovations by Lincoln College Group. Its reopening in December 2021 with pantomime performances marked a fresh chapter in its story.
