A space for creativity, community and connection – right in the heart of town.
Thanks to support from East Street Arts, we’ve been able to transform a vacant shop unit in Freshney Place into something special.
It’s not a shop. It’s a community art space, for Community Events, Workshops, Exhibitions and a Maker Space for local artists.
It’s Not a Shop…
Our front-of-house area is designed to shine a light on local makers – something that we are very passionate about. Here, you’ll find displays of work created by the people of Grimsby – from prints and artwork to crafted items and more.
It’s about sharing skills, supporting makers, and encouraging sustainable, circular practices. Instead of sales, we ask for donations, so every penny goes back into the community.
Right now, you can see prints from our Meet Us At Albert’s project, People Make Grimsby merch, and work by local makers like Lucy, The Humber Printmaker, Chris Gilleard and Seagull Swamp.
Why “People Make Grimsby”?
Because towns aren’t made by buildings; they’re made by people. By the ideas, creativity, and kindness that flow between them.
This space is here for everyone: to learn, to make, to share, to connect. Whether you want to roll up your sleeves, browse local creations, or simply spend some time in a welcoming, creative environment – you’re part of it.
