Join us for Lincolnshire’s free international festival of outdoor arts, where the pavements, parks and promenades of Skegness and Mablethorpe come alive with theatre, dance, music and comedy from local, national and international artists. A programme of artists designed to take you on a joyful journey of discovery.

SO Festival is more than a festival. Throughout the year, we support and invest in creatives and cultural organisations across Lincolnshire, offering workshops, masterclasses, collaborations and opportunities for local people to make and shape art. Working closely with our communities, we’re committed to co-curating and co-creating work that reflects the voices, ideas and talents of our communities.

As an Arts Council England National Portfolio Organisation (NPO), supported by Magna Vitae and East Lindsey District Council, we’re committed to making bold, family-friendly, accessible outdoor arts experiences for everyone in Lincolnshire and beyond.
