The Drill is preparing for a big year of live entertainment after another round of refurbishment at the iconic venue, announcing a series of exciting shows from the world of music.
Formerly Lincoln Drill Hall, the arts venue underwent a rebrand after being bought out by Lincoln College Group in May 2021. Since then, a refurbishment has been taking place for the newly named The Drill,
The curtain was raised at The Drill in December for the annual Christmas pantomime of Aladdin, put on by Jamie Marcus Productions, before closing again in January to allow for more improvement works on the site.
Initial works included a new front of house section, along with a transformed box office and revamped design with a new restaurant and bar called Limelight.
As well as this, new sound and lighting systems have been installed as part of the works, ahead of an exciting first few months back for The Drill, as it is set to welcome some of music’s most famous faces (or even those that act like those famous faces) in 2022.

Carole Glover’s transformation into a Brahma Kumaris over 25 years ago marked a pivotal turn in her life, providing clarity on her previous life experiences.
The spiritual movement was founded in the 1930s by Dada Lekhraj Kripalani, a visionary Indian businessman, also known by the name of Prajapita Brahma Baba. He then passed it over to a trust administered by a group of women who have run it ever since. After experiencing a series of visions in 1936, he was inspired to create a school where the “principles and practices of a virtuous and meditative life could be taught.”
