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.
