Rainy Day Picks This Weekend in Cleethorpes

10 picks around Cleethorpes, from 8 local venues. The map pin is doing actual work here.

25–26 July Near Cleethorpes

Not every listing gets a golden ticket

We check the usual frankly silly number of local websites, then look for events that feel rainy-day friendly: cinemas, theatres, talks, workshops, galleries, concerts, cosy venues, and anything less likely to involve standing in a muddy field making brave weather noises.

Happening Saturday 25 July to Sunday 26 July.
Picked for Cleethorpes, not somewhere halfway across the county.
Only Local Gems and Curated venues make the cut, because standards are still a thing.
Listings with proper descriptions get bumped up the list. Three words and a shrug will not do.

The Smyths7

The Smyths

at The Welly

For more than two decades, THE SMYTHS have been hailed as the world's most acclaimed live legacy band to The Smiths. Endorsed by each of The Smiths and their producer Stephen Street, the band has performed over 1000 shows across the UK, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and Brazil along with major festivals such as Glastonbury and the Isle of Wight. Rather than relying on clichés, The Smyths focus on recreating the raw, visceral experience of a live Smiths show. They deliver the timeless music of a generation with the electric energy fans imagine The Smiths would have today. Their audience spans multiple generations, from original fans to today's teenagers, proving that The Smiths' music remains as vital as ever. "Having had the very good fortune to have worked up close and personal with THE SMITHS, I can vouch that THE SMYTHS are the most excellent "tribute" to the Smiths' music and legacy. The Smyths' musicianship is undoubtedly of a very high standard enabling them to play every song from The Smiths and Morrissey's catalog with incredible precision and feel. Go and see them live, you won't be disappointed" STEPHEN STREET, PRODUCER OF THE SMITHS "Calling them a tribute act is an insult. I closed my eyes and I thought it was 1985" JEREMY VINE, BROADCASTER
