Pay What You Decide season ‘springs’ into action at Lincoln Drill Hall

Chris Kirkwood, CEO at Lincoln Drill Hall, said:  “Pay What You Decide is a fantastic opportunity for a variety of audiences to experience a wide range of theatre and art. This season’s Pay What You Decide season packs 14 great shows into four months.

“Often, people are cautious about paying a lot of money for performances that they aren’t familiar with so Pay What You Decide minimises that risk – and people are often blown away by the performances! It helps make theatre much more accessible, and ensures we can continue to bring unique performances to Lincoln and our audiences.

“Lincoln Drill Hall is all about community so we hope that we can continue to bring people together at our Pay What You Decide performances and encourage more interest in the arts.”

Lincoln Drill Hall first introduced Pay What You Decide for its autumn 2018 programme and the growing popularity of the scheme encouraged the charity-owned arts centre to make it a permanent fixture.

All proceeds are split between the venue and performers, who receive a guaranteed fee.

A Pay What You Decide Club has also been introduced for fans of the scheme. People can get a loyalty card from the box office which will be stamped whenever they watch a Pay What You Decide performance. After five stamps, card holders receive a free glass of wine.

As well as the Pay What You Decide festival, there is also an impressive selection of set-price performances at Lincoln Drill over the spring season, including The BBC Big Band: The Music of James Bond… And Beyond!
