What’s on this weekend in Grimsby is a question I often see asked in the local Facebook groups, so I thought it was worth putting together a list of what’s on in Grimsby so all the events are listed in one place.
I’ll update weekly and try to keep on top of the details (for example, if something gets cancelled then I’ll update the site) and I always welcome tip-offs. If you’re running an upcoming event, please let me know the date and details – you can email me at deckndockblog@gmail.com with the subject “LOCAL EVENT” and the date it’s running.
