The four-day music and arts event Lost Village, at Norton Disney, returns to North Kesteven for an 11th year this summer and the Council recognises the contribution it has made to the local economy and place over the years.
The Council is pleased to welcome this high-quality event back to the District between August 27 and 30 – see the exciting music line-up on the Lost Village website.
Over the years the Council has built up a very positive relationship with the event organisers, who also engage with the local community. Working with Environmental Health, the Lost Village team has also successfully reduced off-site noise levels and finishing times for live music in recent years.
The Council is also proud of the positive impact the popular event brings to local suppliers and culture, as well as raising awareness of our beautiful area.
The effect on the local community and economy can be seen in the event organisers’ Community Impact Report from 2025, where it was revealed that the event had made a total economic contribution to Lincolnshire of £2.25m – up 12.5% on 2024. £1.25m of this was spent directly with local suppliers, an increase of £250,000 year-on-year.
In addition, around 50 local volunteer and work experience opportunities were created – up from 35 in 2024.
Councillor Richard Wright, Leader of North Kesteven District Council, said: “The Council welcomes the contribution Lost Village makes to the economy and place, and we have worked hard with them to ensure the event has become a big success, whilst raising awareness of North Kesteven.
“The figures in their latest Community Impact Report showcase the importance of the event to the local community and economy, and supporting local causes, and we are proud to support Lost Village.”
Ben Atkins, one of the Lost Village Directors added: "Through our Community Impact Fund, Lost Village has been able to support a range of local causes, including funding for local schools, community arts initiatives, sports teams, cultural programs and even speed signage, with the total funding in the calendar year approaching £100,000. We are proud of the community we are part of and will continue to fund vital projects in the area.
“It's fantastic to have Lost Village back in Lincolnshire once again. Over the years we've become more than just a festival on the calendar, we're part of what makes the summer special for people across the region. We can't wait to see everyone again and deliver another weekend that the whole community can be proud of.”
The event organisers employ their own independent consultancy team to monitor noise levels at agreed locations during the festival, and they also have a dedicated webpage with information for residents.
In addition to the live music, there is also a short fireworks display scheduled for between 9.05pm-9.25pm on Sunday, August 30.
