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.
Join a family craft workshop
Drop in to a free family craft workshop and help us build the enchanted world of Grue. It’s totally free – with no need to book.
ARCADE is a charity that supports communities to get involved in art and creativity. We are based in Scarborough and Bridlington but work in lots of different places.
Wintercroft is an environmentally conscious design company specialising in helping people make masks from waste card. Their masks provide a therapeutic, satisfying way to connect with a side of ourselves that we might not even have known was there.

Relaxed sessions
All Grue performances are relaxed meaning you are free to move, make noise and leave the space if you need to, although we cannot guarantee you can re-enter the experience with your group.
On Mondays there are no performers. You can explore the artwork at your own pace, with less interaction, if this is an experience you’d prefer.
