It’s time to love your town again, says North East Lincolnshire Council

Residents and visitors are being encouraged to fall in love with Grimsby, Cleethorpes, and Immingham this February as Love Your Town makes its return.

It’s a programme of experiences for all ages, and includes live performances, creative workshops, pop-up markets, and tours.

New for 2025 is ‘The Great North East Lincs Poetry Trail’, encouraging visitors to discover poems displayed in shop windows—each one holding a clue to a question. Pick up a trail sheet at any participating shop, follow the clues, complete the trail to be entered into a draw to win great prizes! It’s a creative and fun way to get to know your home town, experience poetry in unexpected spaces, perfect for families, groups of friends, or solo explorers. The trail kicks off on Saturday 8 February and runs until Saturday 22 February.

Love Immingham – Saturday, 8 February: The ABP coach tour for a behind-the-scenes visit to the Port of Immingham, the UK’s largest port. It’s a must for history buffs and anyone fascinated by the inner workings of our local industry.

Love Grimsby – Saturday, 15 February: Food lovers can indulge in a guided food tour featuring the best of Lincolnshire’s finest eateries on the North East Lincolnshire Food Map. Enjoy tasty stops around the town centre, with special treats along the way.

For art lovers, Sarah Palmer’s Urban Sketch Tour invites you to unwind and sketch iconic spots around Grimsby in a peaceful, guided session (limited spaces, book early!). If history is more your vibe, don’t miss the History walk by Emma Lingard or ‘Saints & Sinners: The Untold Tales of Grimsby’s Underbelly’ walk with Carla Linford—discovering the quirky and forgotten stories of our town’s past.

Love Cleethorpes – Saturday, 22 February: Get ready for a vibrant street festival as Sea View Street comes alive with street food stalls, live music, installations and street theatre. St Peter’s Church Hall will host an exciting pop-up market full of handmade crafts, jewellery, and artisan food.
