Grimsby Fishing Heritage Centre and Ross Tiger

We’re currently asking visitors to book a visit time by calling our reception team on (01472) 323345. This allows us to prevent overcrowding in smaller areas of the attraction.

Tours of the trawler, Ross Tiger, start at 11am, 12pm and 2pm and are subject to availability and booked on a first come first served basis.

We are currently limiting tours on Ross Tiger to a maximum of 12 people per tour. This is to allow our guides and visitors to distance.

We currently advise face coverings to be worn within the themed exhibit and the Ross Tiger.

We ask for all payments to be contactless throughout the centre.

These galleries are open from 10am to 4pm (last entry at 3pm).

The gallery is currently closed for exhibition turnover.

The Galley Cafe

The cafe is open every day (excluding Mondays) between 11am and 3pm.

Ross Tiger

Due to COVID-19, we have made some adjustments to our tours. These include:

• Operating fewer tours with a reduced number of visitors per tour.
• Asking visitors to keep a distance from other visitors and our guides.
• Recommending that visitors wear a face covering whilst aboard. Our guides also wear a face covering.
• Providing hand sanitiser at various locations aboard the ship and asking visitors to limit what they touch whilst aboard.
• Regular cleaning of frequently touched surfaces aboard the ship and in the museum.
• Opening additional portholes, ventilators and storm doors to ensure good ventilation aboard the ship.
• Delivering more information in larger spaces or outdoors to limit time in smaller spaces aboard.

We politely request that you do not attend the museum and Ross Tiger if you are feeling unwell or are experiencing any symptoms of COVID-19.
