Spilsby Sessions House is set to reopen following major restoration plans approved by East Lindsey District Council. The historic theatre will receive £4.9 million from an £8 million government-funded regeneration programme focused on Lincolnshire Wolds heritage sites.
Once used as a jail, the Sessions House will see its old police cells opened to the public as part of its transformation into a cultural and arts venue. Plans include major repairs, adaptations for community use, and a new café to welcome residents and visitors. The aim is to create a vibrant hub that increases footfall in Spilsby year-round, supporting local businesses while preserving the building’s historic character.
Work will now begin to restore and adapt the site, ensuring it remains an accessible and inspiring space for generations to come.
