Help celebrate North East Lincolnshire: tender opportunity for Love Your Town 2026 Events

With key events in Grimsby, Cleethorpes and Immingham, promising an exciting blend of cultural celebrations, love themed community activities and free family-friendly fun, the Council are looking for an experienced event organiser to co-ordinate, plan, manage and deliver three daytime events with the release of the tender.

Throughout the events, thousands of visitors are expected to visit the area with events taking place across several venues and local shops, bringing free fun for all ages and appreciation for businesses and places.

Now, it’s your turn to get involved and build upon the past three years of amazing events. It’s hoped the organiser can help deliver great, family fun and showcase some of the brilliant traders the area has to offer.

Funded by the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, the events may include, but are not limited to, hands on activities, workshops and tasters, food and drink events, artisan markets, street theatre, walking events, wellbeing activities, love themed selfie opportunities, rides and attractions.

The events should aim to attract footfall to the retail areas in the town centres and encourage people to love their town, have pride in their place, shop with local businesses and love themselves through self-care and wellbeing.

This is the time to show what North East Lincolnshire really has to offer.

Councillor Hayden Dawkins, Portfolio Holder for Culture, Heritage and Visitor Economy, said: “This is the perfect opportunity for anyone who wants to help celebrate what our wonderful borough has to offer.

“The residents and local businesses do so much for the area and this is just one way the Council can help showcase what these people and organisations are doing to make North East Lincolnshire great.”
