Last year saw fantastic support for the move of GREAT GRIMSBY DAY, to the Charter Day of 11 March. This year we're looking for more of you to join in. Grimsby was made great by the ordinary men and women who made it to the end of each working day and we want to celebrate them.

And in 2026 we continue to say, don't be fooled on 22 January by Fake Grimsby Day, 11 March 2026 is the real Great Grimsby Day...
In 2008, an advert named January 22 as "Grimsby Day." Jan 22 has no basis in fact or history. But it overshadows 11 March, the actual anniversary of the day Grimsby was granted its charter. So for 2025 we say make 11 March Great Grimsby Day grimsbyice.co.uk/grimsbyday.h...
