Work starts on the Cleethorpes Promenade Community Mural

11 March 2025
We've been enjoying the spring sunshine on the Cleethorpes promenade as we work on our latest mural to celebrate the town. We're aiming to include as many local references as possible and hoping to create something the whole community can enjoy. We're working with as many local people as possible too, including local artists, Armed Forces veterans, and, of course, the recovery community. We hope everyone enjoys the mural when it’s completed. This is a community project, and anyone is welcome to get involved. Come on down and show your support!

8 February 2025
The weather is slowly warming up and we've been busy planning the next round of murals to appear in and around Grimsby and Cleethorpes! Welcome back to the Paint The Town project for 2025! We finished last year on a high with the Pink Bear mural in Cleethorpes by LUAP and we've been planning this years murals and bringing new artists in to the project. We've also secured funding for more murals, bringing our goal this year up to a whopping 7 murals to be completed by the end of summer! We'll have more details to share soon...
