Giant inflatable bowel to raise cancer awareness in Grimsby

Bowel Cancer UK is inviting Grimsby locals to walk inside a giant inflatable bowel to raise awareness of bowel cancer and its symptoms.

The giant inflatable bowel – measuring 19 feet by seven feet – is an interactive experience to demonstrate the various stages of bowel cancer, and raise awareness of its symptoms, the importance of taking part in screening and learn about good bowel health.

It’s also a chance for people to ask any questions or share any worries about bowel cancer, whether about themselves, a loved one or friend, to one of Bowel Cancer UK’s friendly and experienced staff and volunteers.

Join Bowel Cancer UK’s awareness roadshow on:

  • Tuesday 15 July, 10am–4pm: Riverhead Square, Riverhead, Grimsby Town Centre, DN31 1FB
  • Wednesday 16 July, 10am–4pm: Asda Grimsby, Holles Street, Grimsby, DN32 9DL
  • Thursday 17 July, 10am–4pm: Riverhead Square, Riverhead, Grimsby Town Centre, DN31 1FB

Genevieve Edwards, chief executive at Bowel Cancer UK, said: “We’re excited to bring our 2025 UK roadshow tour to North East Lincolnshire, starting important conversations about bowel cancer. Our mission is to raise awareness about the symptoms, encourage people to contact their GP if they notice any signs, and highlight the importance of bowel cancer screening for those who are eligible.

“We’re hoping our giant inflatable bowel will be a fun and engaging way to break the ice and start lifesaving conversations, so come and visit us on our UK tour. No appointment needed—just drop by, ask questions about your bowel health, and get signposted to further support. See you inside!”
