About this Event

☀️ Here comes the Sun: Helios at Grimsby Minster


9 April – 4 May 2026


Grimsby-based arts charity The Culture House is delighted to present Luke Jerram’s Helios (the Sun) at Grimsby Minster, as part of the National Lottery-funded 'Our Future Starts Here' partnership programme.

Be one of the first to experience this awe-inspiring, large-scale artwork set within the beautiful surroundings of the Minster.

Helios is a major touring installation by renowned British artist Luke Jerram.

Featuring detailed imagery of the Sun's surface, the artwork – headline sponsored by Ørsted and supported by AP Robinson and RSUK – offers a powerful and thought-provoking experience for visitors of all ages.

The exhibition is free to access (donations are welcome) and runs partly during the Easter holidays and into May, including Bank Holiday Monday, 4 May.

Helios marks the launch of the next five years of 'Our Future Starts Here', which is hosting exciting, accessible artworks and a wide range of creative events and workshops to North East Lincolnshire.

Look out for more programme announcements coming soon, including other light installations, theatre, music, and participatory events.
