What happened at Grim FalFest 2023?
Thank you to everyone who attended this year’s Grim FalFest – it was amazing to see such incredible support. From the waterfront and St James’ Square to People’s Park, Grim and his Vikings took over Grimsby once again and we welcomed them back with open arms. Events included medieval villages, battle re-enactments, a horse display and parade –to name just a few.
Same time next year?
In an independent post-event survey, 99.8 per cent of visitors said they would attendGrim FalFest if it was to return next year. So, it’s safe to say there’s certainly a strong appetite for the festival’s return. The HeritageLottery Fund support has now come to an end and our team are underway with conversations to explore the return Grim and his Vikings next year and beyond.

To all Vikings of Grimsby!

Your hometown will rise and call you to return once more.
Safe passage Grimbarians!
Standby to heedour call,
And on such a day, Grim will carry Havelok on high tide,
And rise once again,
At the FalFest of Grim.
