Show your love for Cleethorpes this weekend and get involved with poetry trails, shop at pop-up markets and more!

 

Love Cleethorpes is the grand finale of the Love Your Town events with Immingham and Grimsby having already had their time in the limelight.

 

This Saturday, 22 February, get down to the shopping areas including Sea View Street and St Peter’s Avenue and show why it is the best seaside resort in Britain!

 

This is also your last chance to join in the poetry trail across the shops in all of the town centres: unleash your inner detective with ‘The Great North East Lincs Poetry Trail’.  Explore the town centres and discover local poems displayed in shop windows—each one holds a clue to a question! Pick up a trail sheet at any participating shop, follow the clues, complete the trail to be entered into a draw to win great prizes!

 

The Poetry Trail kicked off on Saturday, 8 February, and ends this Saturday. For a full list of shops participating in the Love Cleethorpes trail and the entry form to submit your answers, visit www.discovernortheastlincolnshire.co.uk/cleethorpes-love-trail.  On the event day, you can also collect and submit your trail sheet at the Discover North East Lincolnshire stand located inside St Peter’s church hall.

 

St Peter’s Church Hall

 

From 10am to 4pm, there will be a pop up artisan market from local artists and makers selling from crystal jewellery to cheese, local art prints, cards, homeware and themed gifts.

 

If you fancy something fun to do, why not join LaCuna with their Flower Power or Clee Rocks drop in workshops!

 

Painted & decorated using a mandala dot point technique, your rocks can be left around our town for others to find and share with the Discover North East Lincolnshire’s Instagram (@DiscoverNEL), using the hashtag #loveclee #cleerockstrail.

 

Or create a flower inspired head dress – complete with buzzing bees or crochet flowers! You’ll get to use scrap fabric and repurposed materials to make a spring head dress you can take away and keep after the event.

 

Sea View Street

 

Get ready for a vibrant festival-feel down one of Cleethorpes’ most famous streets! Sea View Street will be hosting street food, live music and street theatre performances. Make sure to stop by the selfie station too and share the love with a stunning background to get that Instagram ready picture.

 

Don’t forget the sold out guided tours that will take place, from the Cleethorpes Food Tour, the heritage guided walk to a new history walk uncovering hidden gems, ‘Saints & Sinners: Cleethorpes Unveiled’.

 

Throughout the day, there will also be a range of great street theatre acts including the Stupid Cupid trio, a stylish and silly act packed with bags of energy and delightful fun; stunning Butterflies and towering Blooming Tall stilt walkers, plus Mr Wilson’s Second Liners, the New Orleans-style brass band reimagining your favourite 90s club classics with a high-energy twist.

 

Councillor Hayden Dawkins, Portfolio Holder for Culture, Heritage and Visitor Economy, said: “Our Love Your Town fortnight ends this Saturday with the finale in Cleethorpes and is not to be missed! One of the most picturesque seaside resorts, Cleethorpes deserves to be celebrated so let’s get behind our town centre, support our local businesses and enjoy the fun.”
