The Culture House has launched the fifth edition of “Our Future Starts Here” this weekend in Grimsby and will run until the end of May.
The Culture House is a local charity that aims “to transform people’s lives through the power of creativity and culture.” through a range of events and festivals here in Grimsby, with “Our Future Starts Here” as one of their largest events.
According to a spokesperson for The Culture House, “Our Future Starts Here is a programme with purpose that’s happening over this weekend and into next week.
“It’s a future-facing programme themed around people, place, and planet.”
“Our Future Starts Here” boasts a packed schedule with various events, including workshops centred around social media and AI at Grimsby Town Hall, a film screening, and numerous musical acts.
To kick off the schedule was the very first “Sing Your Heart Out” event, which took place yesterday in Grimsby Minster.
The idea originated from a “lightbulb moment” from Charlotte Bowen, Director at The Culture House, during a team Christmas Party, where she wondered if an event could be held similar to that of her team all singing their favourite songs together.
The line-up for the inaugural “Sing Your Heart Out” consisted of Chloey Rose, a Grimsby-born-and-bred singer-songwriter, the Blaze Choir, the highly-acclaimed Mardy Johnny Depps, before wrapping up with the All for One Choir.
Gi Grimsby News spoke to Director Charlotte Bowen during the event, where she said, “This event is about feeling good and community connection. That’s the kind of thing the Culture House looks to put out there.”
With that in mind, The Culture House will be running events throughout the half-term holidays until the end of the month.
A spokesperson for Grimsby Minster said to Gi Grimsby News: “We are thrilled to have the ‘Our Future Starts Here’ event here at Grimsby Minster.
”We try to be innovative, and hosting events such as this reflects our commitment to the local community and welcoming everyone through our doors.
”Last night’s event was well organised by those at The Culture House, and we welcome future events!”
