Well… we survived two weekends of LOVE Your Town and honestly, we’re still recovering. 💛😂

A MASSIVE thank you to every single person who helped make LOVE Grimsby and LOVE Cleethorpes happen. These events take a ridiculous amount of teamwork, problem solving, moving things, plugging things in, calming people down, feeding people, entertaining people and praying the weather behaves.

To our artists, performers, musicians, workshop leaders, photographers, technicians, crew, volunteers and event staff, thank you for bringing the magic, colour and energy.

Special shoutout to the artists and creatives who worked with community groups, schools, organisations and the public before and during the events to create workshops, murals, heart flags, animations, trails and interactive experiences. So much of this project was shaped directly by local people and their stories, and that made it incredibly special.

To our market traders, makers and food vendors, thank you for keeping everybody fed, caffeinated and carrying bags of lovely things home with them.

To the churches, green room venues and local businesses who hosted us, supported us, displayed heart flags and welcomed visitors through the doors, thank you for getting fully stuck in.

To everyone who nominated and voted in the Loved by Locals Red Plaques and the LOVE Your Pet competition, thank you for caring so much about your towns.

Huge thanks to the creator of the Red Plaques, the sponsors of the LOVE Your Pet dog show and the Loved by Locals exhibition boards, and all the businesses proudly displaying plaques across Grimsby and Cleethorpes.

Big love as well to the behind-the-scenes legends including the marquee teams, staging crews, traffic management, printers, toilet providers, security staff and medical teams who helped everything run smoothly and safely.

And finally, thank you to North East Lincolnshire Council for trusting us to deliver this brilliant project, alongside support from Discover North East Lincolnshire.

We laughed, problem solved, got windswept and drank far too much coffee, but together we created something really special for North East Lincolnshire. ❤️

👀WELL ISN’T THIS EXCITING 👀

We’re building something new for Louth… and we want you involved.

01507 is a new grassroots music festival celebrating the incredible talent, venues and community here in Louth.

As we start shaping the festival, we’re creating the 01507 Think Tank — a small group of local voices who can help guide and inform what this becomes.

We’re looking for:
• Local musicians (any genre)
• Venue owners / promoters
• People passionate about live music in Louth
• Community voices who want to help shape something meaningful

This group will meet a small number of times in the lead-up to the festival to:
• Share ideas
• Offer insight into the local scene
• Help us make the festival as inclusive, accessible and representative as possible

This is an advisory group, you won’t be expected to run the festival, but your voice will help shape it.

If you’d like to be involved, or want to find out more, drop us a message or email to [email protected]

Let’s build something that truly represents the 01507.
