Events

Our Big Picture events are for you to get involved in your local community. Experience a sense of joy at art and music. Tap into your creative side. Learn something new and feel like you are part of history

Of course, our events have had to change this year, but we are working hard to put on inclusive events that are safe and Covid-secure.

Exhibitions

Top Town Market is not just a place to shop and chat. It’s a space where exciting and inspiring artwork awaits.

The current exhibition is the outstanding Grimbarians exhibition – a photography project that tells the unseen stories of the people who make Grimsby a special place. It’s on until the end of October, so drop in while you still can.

From November, you can see the Freddie Frinton exhibition, which was originally exhibited at Grimsby Fishing Heritage Centre.
