February can feel a little bleak. It’s cold, it gets dark early, and the excitement of Christmas is a distant memory.

So, for three nights in February 2026, we gave people a reason to get wrapped up, head into the city and see Lincoln in a different light.

Frequency Festival is Lincoln’s free biennial celebration of light, art and digital creativity. We work with artists, local groups and communities to bring historic buildings, streets and unexpected places to life – creating experiences that surprise, delight and encourage people to explore.

In 2026, more than 28,000 people came together to experience Frequency across the city. Visitors travelled from across the UK, while locals rediscovered places they thought they knew.

For us, that’s what Frequency is all about: bringing people together and showing how digital culture and creativity is for everyone to experience and enjoy.
