A new breed of Urban Minsters
Established in 2010, Grimsby Minster was founded upon the ancient parish church of St Mary and St James, Great Grimsby. We are one of the new breed of Urban Minsters and as such we are committed to serving the needs of our borough. As our Minster identity continues to develop we are proud to build on our relationships with all aspects of our borough: civic, educational, business, voluntary, social needs and the arts.
The Minster is open for services at 11am on a Thursday Morning, 10.30am on Sunday morning and the Minster Café on Tuesday to Saturday 9.30am – 2.30pm.
