Ribbon to be cut at Clee fields with family fun day

A state-of-the-art football facility in Grimsby is set to open officially this weekend with a family fun day, and a ribbon cutting ceremony involving the Mayor.

Clee Fields, situated off Ladysmith Road in Grimsby, recently underwent a refurbishment part-funded by a £1.5m grant from the Premier League, The FA and the Government’s Football Foundation, along with money from North East Lincolnshire Council’s capital budget.

Following a tender process, YMCA Humber have been announced as the new operators of the site for the next five years (to 2029), supporting grassroots football in the local community.

In July, YMCA Humber opened Clee Fields to partner and community clubs, and are looking forward to working with organisations, local football teams and clubs, providing a first-class football facility.

The official opening of the site will take place on Saturday 31st August 2024 from 10:30am to 1pm.

The day will include games and competitions, a ribbon-cutting ceremony involving the Mayor of North East Lincolnshire, Councillor Steve Beasant, face-painting, an ice cream van and a BBQ.

The site is located at 140 Ladysmith Rd, Grimsby DN32 9SW – head to the large car park from Ladysmith Road.
