Weelsby Hall, a symbol of Grimsby’s rich heritage, will be opening its doors to the public for a rare opportunity to explore its history on Sunday, September 15, 2024. Owned by the Linkage Community Trust, this historic site is not typically accessible to the public, making this event an exclusive opportunity for history enthusiasts and the local community.
[block_2]As part of the Heritage Open Days Festival, England’s largest celebration of history and culture, Weelsby Hall invites visitors to step back in time and discover its fascinating past. Built-in the late 1890s for George Sleight, the first Baronet of Weelsby, the hall stands as a testament to Grimsby’s illustrious fishing heritage. Acquired by the Linkage Community Trust in 1982, Weelsby Hall has served the local and national needs of people with learning disabilities.
Due to the popularity of previous open days, booking will be essential as space is limited. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to delve into Grimsby’s hidden history and learn about ongoing efforts to preserve Weelsby Hall!
