About this Event

Join us for the Opening Night of Humberlands Photography Festival 2026 as we celebrate photography, creativity, and community across the Humber region.

Taking place at The Grimbarians Studio, 87 Wharncliffe Road, Grimsby, this special evening marks the official launch of a week-long festival dedicated to visual storytelling, artistic expression, and creative connection.

Guests will have the opportunity to explore three inspiring exhibitions, including the our very own Humberlands Portrait Prize, showcasing exceptional work from photographers across the region and beyond. You'll also have the chance to meet exhibiting photographers, festival contributors, local partners, and fellow photography enthusiasts.

At 7:30pm, we'll host the Humberlands Awards Ceremony, recognising outstanding entries and celebrating the talent that makes this festival possible.

Whether you're a photographer, creative, supporter of the arts, or simply curious to see what's happening, everyone is welcome. Come along, enjoy a drink, discover some incredible photography, and help us kick off Humberlands Photography Festival 2026 in style.
