Sailing back to Grimsby town centre on Saturday 22 June 2024

One of the highlights for this year’s Festival of the Sea will see the creation of a new contemporary dance performance inspired by local people’s stories to turn our community connections to the water into MOVEMENT. This new creation will be facilitated with several workshops prior to the festival, led by Grimsby arts and heritage organisation, Our Big Picture.

Turntable Gallery will join the festival with their Message in a Bottle installation – from rescue pleas to a sailor looking for love, messages in bottles have some of the most remarkable tales. Get involved and help us gather bottles to write your own tale and explore the magic discovering the journeys of messages delivered by the sea.

More info on how to take part in this and the rest of the programme will be announced soon! So until more details are released, watch this space @festivalofsea- external site . Read more details in the full press release.
