Free creative event Edible Grimsby returns to the town on Saturday 5th October promising free food tastings, food and drink stalls, and entertainment.
It’s been created by The Culture House in partnership with Emergency Exit Arts to celebrate growing, cooking and sharing food.
Charlotte Bowen, Culture House director said: “2024 sees a return to St James’ Square for Edible Grimsby and it should be a brilliant day when all ages can enjoy food alongside fantastic entertainment within the town centre.”
“We’re committed to enlivening our grey streets with vibrant and accessible events and Edible Grimsby is just one offering that aims to achieve this.”
Taking place from 11am – 4pm, the day will include an array of performances from both local and national talent including street theatre, live music, immersive creative story-telling shows and indoor theatre.
Local community groups Oasis Hub, Community Shop, Friendship at Home and makers including Beetroot Collective will be making bespoke sauces and ‘A Jar of Goodness’ using locally grown ingredients provided by Green Futures. Rhubarb jams and onion chutney will be offered for tasting, together with home-made scones provided by The Canopy Kitchen.
Other fantastic local food stalls that have recently between them served thousands at Cleethorpes’ Grub Fest, will include the popular Greek Shack. Riverhead Coffee will also be providing tasting treats and mini bites.
As well as fun, food-related street theatre, visitors can also enjoy three amazing shows by national touring companies – TEABREAK, TOAST and A Tiger’s Tale for children by M6 Theatre.
Edible Grimsby is funded by Create North East Lincolnshire through the Place Partnership Fund and supported by Ramsden International and Pattesons Glass.
