The Big House Arts Festival presents 'The Tide Rises, The Tide Falls'

Join us in person for an unforgettable opening evening of Chamber Music for the inaugural Big House Arts Festival 2026.

In the beautiful surroundings of Lincoln Cathedral's Chapter House, Four award winning artists come together for an intimate evening of song, poetry and solo music inspired by Shakespeare’s vision of the seven ages of human life.

Tracing a journey from first beginnings to final endings, the programme reflects on innocence and desire, ambition and wisdom, love and loss - capturing the beauty, absurdity, and fragility of being human.
