Grue

Wintercroft & ARCADE

Explore a wintry world built by the people of Bradford.

Event Details
Date 8–23 Feb 2025
Location Damart Mill, Bingley
Ages Primary school-aged children and their families

Enjoy a fabulous walk-through experience for culture-lovers young and old.

In this enchanted landscape, you’ll take on an important mission: helping our historian to solve the mysteries of Damart Mill. You’ll pass through secret doors, a fairy forest and even go underwater on your quest – and perhaps you’ll meet some special guests along the way.

Dreamed up by artist Steve Wintercroft, produced by Yorkshire’s very own ARCADE and built entirely from recycled and repurposed materials, Grue is named after an ancient word for ‘shiver’ – but don’t worry about the cold! You’ll be able to warm up with a drink and a snack, and take part in special crafting activities on site.
