A fascinating new exhibition which celebrates sporting heroes who were born and raised in Grimsby is opening to the public this weekend.

From 11am on Saturday, July 20, members of the public can visit the brand new ‘Hometown Heroes: A Celebration of Sport’ exhibition at the Grimsby Fishing Heritage Centre on Alexandra Dock.

The display contains items which belong to local sportspeople, including legendary English Channel swimmer Brenda Fisher, dancers Kevin and Joanne Clifton, Paralympian Hollie Arnold and former motorcycle racer Guy Martin, among others.

Each inspirational person whose items are featured in the exhibition all have one thing in common – their hometown is Grimsby.
