Plans for Lincoln's new drinking and dining destination revealed

Plans for STACK Lincoln, a brand-new drinking and dining destination in the city, have been released.

Taking over the former Argos store at St Marks Shopping Centre, the large-scale hospitality venue will include five bars, 10 street food outlets, a coffee shop and roof terrace, as well as a central plaza area with a stage for live performances.

The developers and operators behind the scheme, Danieli Group, have created computerised imagery to offer a taste of what the ambitious project will look like when complete.

Work on stripping out the existing unit has begun, with the plan for the 2,000-capacity venue to be completed by the end of the summer 2023.

The goal is for STACK to become a nationally recognised brand, with a successful container village already in Sunderland and plans for the permanent return of the flagship Newcastle STACK to a new city centre site.

Other proposed new locations for 2023/24 are Middlesbrough, Durham and Carlisle.

The Lincoln scheme is based at what was initially St Marks Church before becoming a railway station and more recently, St Marks Shopping Centre, which housed the Argos store until it closed in 2020.

Neill Winch, CEO of Danieli Group, is delighted to be able to give a taste of what STACK Lincoln will look like when complete. "These new designs show what people can expect when the development is complete and what an exciting addition to the city it will be," he says.

"We know from experience how much STACK appeals to people of all ages and we look forward to replicating the success we have had at other sites in Lincoln."

Valerie Johnson, centre manager at St Marks Shopping Centre, adds: "The plans for STACK are incredibly exciting and show what a fantastic addition this will be to St Marks. This concept is completely new to the city and will offer a unique experience for not only the people in Lincoln but the surrounding areas as well."
