POETRY podcasts, fiction, and family fun all feature in the newly released programme for Lincoln Book Festival 2025, which runs from October 2-5 at venues across the historic city.
With more than 40 events over four days, this year’s festival presents a diverse mix of author talks, performances, workshops, and community activities.
Lincoln Book Festival 2025 is supported by Arts Council England, using money from the National Lottery. A range of local organisations are also supporting the festival and tickets are available now, with many events free to attend (advance booking required). Highlights include:
l Lemn Sissay OBE, award-winning poet and playwright, performing from his collection Let the Light Pour In
l Marcia Hutchinson, acclaimed author and activist with her solo literary debut, The Mercy Step
l Dominic Franks, chef and social media star, launching his new cookbook, Upside Down Cooking
l Tristan Gooley, bestselling author of Natural Navigation, on finding your way through nature
l Hannah Gold, best-selling children’s author, returning to her home county of Lincolnshire.
Alongside an eclectic line-up of guest author appearances there are free family events and activities, a literature inspired trail, original performances, music and dance, local history talks, live podcast recordings, food and drink, folklore tales, writers’ workshops, arts and crafts, publishing industry insights, author networking events, and more.
Lincoln Arts Centre is the festival hub and box office with core programme and fringe events also taking place at city venues including Lincoln Central Library, Lark Books, Usher Gallery, Oxfam Book Shop, and Waterstones Lincoln.
This year’s festival marks two milestones - the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen’s birth and the 80th anniversary of VE Day. Academic experts from Lincoln’s universities will jointly host an event exploring Austen’s brilliance and legacy. Historians from local societies will showcase original research on Lincolnshire’s past. Winners of the book festival’s ever-popular flash fiction short story competition (on the theme Heroes and Villains) will also be revealed.
Jo Dobbs, Lincoln Book Festival 2025 Programme Manager, said:
“We’ve curated this year’s programme to reflect the many ways people connect with stories - whether through reading, writing, performing, or simply listening. It’s a festival that invites curiosity, creativity, and conversation, with opportunities to get involved at every level.
“We especially hope to welcome those who might not usually see themselves in a book festival audience. There are family-friendly events which are completely free to attend, along with inspiring guest author talks and explorations of local history and folklore.”
Lincoln Book Festival 2025 is made possible thanks to the support of a £25,000 grant from the National Lottery through Arts Council England and a network of local businesses and cultural organisations, including Lincoln Arts Centre, as festival co-producer, and the headline festival patron, law firm Shakespeare Martineau. Other patrons and partners include Lincoln Bishop University, Troubador Publishing, University of Lincoln, Wright Vigar, Zest Theatre, Poplars B&B (accommodation partner), Lindum Books (bookseller partner), Lincoln Independent (media partner), and Ruddocks (print partner).
Michael Squirrell, partner and head of Shakespeare Martineau’s Lincoln office, said: “We believe in championing events in the community that bring people together through creativity and connection. Lincoln Book Festival reflects our values perfectly, offering a platform for bold ideas, diverse voices, and shared stories that inspire and uplift. We’re proud to support a festival that encourages people of all ages and backgrounds to discover the transformative power of words.”

FOUR artists have pooled their talents to create a ‘feast of colour and light’ in a new exhibition.
Quartet can be seen at the Rickyard Gallery at Wickenby from September 25 to October 5, featuring the work of Glazier, Pearl Hudson, Anne Mayes and Lissa Wareham.
The women met several years ago at the Trinity Art Group and under the tutelage of Phil Bowman, they have developed their passion for contemporary painting, using the vivid colours of acrylics and mixed media.
“Lissa and Pearl tend to focus on landscapes, gardens and still life, while Janet and I paint bold, colourful abstracts and interiors, often with a touch of humour,” explained Anne.
All four use colour, texture and light and
shade to enhance their work, offering different interpretations of similar themes. With backgrounds of language teaching, librarianship and garden design, each artist reflects their life experiences in their work. They draw inspiration from travel gardens and everyday life - and, in particular, many 20th century and contemporary painters they admire.
Janet added: “We all prove that age is no barrier to developing and improving one’s creative skills, sharing new ideas and embracing new techniques, while passing on knowledge and experience to others. Art is not just seen as a hobby for us, but as a central part of life.”
The artists have exhibited widely in the West Midlands, Wales, France and Lincoln. “Our styles and subject matter may vary we each bring joy and passion to our work. We have joined together for a show that will arouse your curiosity and lift your spirits.”
