No plans this weekend? Sorted.

See the Light lands in Grimsby tomorrow, bringing a free, weekend long programme of light, performance and installation into the heart of the town.

You might even spot a couple of familiar names. Migratory Light by Chris McClean and Resonant Pulse by Lucy Mager, both featured at Frequency Festival, are part of the line-up.

Resonant Pulse is a multi-channel sound installation inspired by Cleethorpes beach, with speakers arranged in a circle to create a calm, immersive space you can step into.

Both commissions were made possible through funding from Arts Council England's Place Partnership Fund and Create North East Lincolnshire as part of the Exploring Digital programme produced by Threshold.

From immersive works inside Grimsby Minster to outdoor moments in St James’ Square, it’s a chance to experience the area in a completely different way.

If you’re around tomorrow evening, go and take a look!

Free to attend, with some indoor works ticketed.

Big shout to out to TheCultureHouse for bringing this together!
