They challenge you, the people of Lincoln, to a marathon game of table tennis.Lincoln Art Programme have commissioned Bristol based live art group Search Party to bring their acclaimed project Search Party Vs to Lincoln, taking the form of a three day event in which Search Party challenge the people of Lincoln to a marathon table tennis tournament. Search Party Vs Lincoln is a FREE event for the whole community to enjoy. Local residents, spectators and passers-by are invited to form a team and compete against Search Party; to represent Lincoln with pride and to support each other through thick and thin.Search Party Vs Lincoln is part of Search Party’s ongoing research into sport and performance.

Search Party have already beaten Bristol, Leeds, Kuopio (Finland) and Barking & Dagenham, drawn against Plymouth and lost to Battersea, Camberwell Derby and Newcastle, and this bank holiday weekend will see how the local people of Lincoln will fare.What you waiting for? get your sweat band out, your teams formed, and we’ll see you down at Cornhill Square…
