Lincoln Castle is delighted to host two installations from the Lincoln Lights programme—Bath House Water and Shadowplay—set within the Castle grounds.
Lincoln Castle - Bath House Water by ITHACA Studio
See the Bath House come to life in this mesmerising sound and light show by internationally acclaimed ITHACA Studio. Animated streams of multi-coloured lights ripple and swirl out from the old Bath House like the soapy water that used to flow there many years ago. Paired with a bespoke soundscape, this 2-3 minute looped show delivers a captivating experience for all ages. Don’t miss this site-specific commission created exclusively for Lincoln Lights 2025.
Lincoln Castle- Shadowplay by Walk the Plank
A captivating show that blends installation with performance, Shadowplay is a Walk the Plank classic – a charming crowd pleaser suitable for audiences of all ages. This fantastical show, inspired by European folklore, German expressionism and Gothic Victorian psychedelia, will draw you in with the powerful simplicity of light and shadow.
We kindly encourage audiences to reserve their spot at the Castle for these two installations by booking a free ticket.
