Please note that we require notification of accessibility needs seating requests 7 days prior to the event you wish to attend. The Engine Shed - this is the main room that is located on the ground floor. When the Platform is not open for a viewing area, we will have an area reserved for those who require seating.
You will be charged 2 for one cup which can then be reused/ exchanged for the duration of the event. Once the event is finished, or during, you can hand your cup back and get your 2 back. If you'd like to keep a cup, feel free! Unfortunately we do not have our own car park on site, however, there is a University car park opposite the venue and local car parks around Lincoln too.

Fantastic venue, attended The Courteeners gig last night. Only one moan, my wife suffered a soft tissue injury to her face due to some idiot throwing one of the hard plastic beer containers, I know this is out of the venues control but maybe a different type of beer container could be sourced for gig nights? Otherwise had a fantastic evening 👍.

Went to a music gig at The Engine Shed last month. Decent venue. Thorough checks were done by security and the sniffer dog before entering the venue. Door staff never asked to see Covid-19 pass though. Security staff escorted out a few folks who were worse for drink. Got free disabled parking on site too.

Went to bongos bingo with a group of friends, covid checks were slow, door staff didn’t seem to have a clue, so they scrapped checking half way through the queue, half a non covid and half a covid venue! Yummy! No bar tariff on the bar? Illegal? Beer and cider taps didn’t match the badges on the fonts, pour carling, get a dark fruits, bar staff slow, didn’t know prices, didn’t know what they could sell, bar staff biting nails then using cups 🤢🤢🤢 supervisors ‘supervising’ and not supporting staff and helping get the queue down.

This seems like a cool place to meet/ work in a co-working environment. (Also very close to the Temple Meads Station). There are many booths and secluded areas groups and also booths for just one person working, and there was a general vibe of business and lively conversation.
There is a small ‘cafe’ but the coffee is not that of a coffee shop, more like ‘push of a button’ coffee. I didn’t actually notice any food but I’m pretty sure they had some.

It's alright for meetings for max 1h, but not for anything else. The air condition is not working very well when it's over 22 degrees outside. Seats in pods are super uncomfortable.
There is no shop near this place where you can buy food for a lunch. The food and coffee which you can buy are WAY overpriced.

A very good night out if you get drunk before you get there. The drinks for a students union are pricey to say the least. There are some great bands that come to play at this venue aswell. recently the ting tings, feeder and tthe hoosiers have played. There is also a comedy night on tuesdays with acts such as russell howard and frankie boyle playing there.
