We’re just a week into May and there’s a bumper season of things to do just around the corner across our towns and villages.
Whether your passion is for enjoying the great outdoors, things to do and see, comedy or live music, there’s something for everyone.
The Tour de Moon Convoy will be visiting Grimsby’s St James Square on Tuesday 17 May in the evening from 6pm to 10.30pm. Grimsby is one of the stopping off places as part of a national festival for the Moon Convoy, a sustainable armada of vehicles, appearing and disappearing at night and bringing interactive and ultra-violet experiences to life. Expect cosmic transformations through live music and DJ sets, a GIANT SQUID called Archie, talks, film screenings, an inflatable game, a 9 piece Arkestra and a larger than life red phone through which you can talk to the Moon. Visit https://tourdemoon.com for more information.
#OurFutureStartsHere is an inspiring mix of culture, art and conversation focusing on where we’re all heading and what matters to us now. The event has been developed by The Culture House and will feature outstanding performances by national touring companies.
