Back for its third year, popular immersive installation, Grue by Wintercroft, returns! Produced by ARCADE, with funding from Arts Council England, Yorkshire Coast Bid and North Yorkshire Council, Grue is a fantastical world, made entirely from recycled and repurposed cardboard. Now a well- established seasonal tradition, this year the magical wintery experience has a new home in the recently refurbished Scarborough Library. With tickets at £4 and Pay What You Decide options also available, this is an affordable and magical wintry treat for all the family.
Grue invites audiences to step into a fantastical world and explore a series of enchanting landscapes. This year Grue is accessed by a secret magical door on the top floor of Scarborough Library and also features live actors as storytelling guides. ARCADE’s co-Director, Rach Drew says: ‘This year Grue has live actors, but don’t worry – nothing scary or gory, no jump scares! These friendly guides invite you to join them on a simple storytelling quest. There are all sorts of landscapes to explore and curious creatures to find.’
Grue is designed by Scarborough artist, Steve Wintercroft – designer, visual artist and the founder of Wintercroft, an environmentally conscious design company specialising in helping people explore creativity through making.
Grue opens for audiences at Scarborough Library on 2 December – 23 December and runs Thursday to Sunday. There is lift access and space for pushchairs. Grue provides a welcoming wintry experience for all the family and there are hot drinks and snacks available on site.
