Welcome to the Ropewalk Website
Ropewalk Contemporary Art & Craft is a regionally acclaimed centre for the visual arts housing three galleries within a Grade II listed former rope factory.

The Ropewalk is situated slightly to the east of the Humber Bridge, on the southern bank of the River Humber (to see a map, click here). Stretching out towards the bank, at almost a quarter of a mile long, The Ropewalk was initially part of a rope making factory; opening in 1801, the factory eventually closed in 1989.

Facilities include a bespoke picture framing department, a print making workshop, artists studios & meeting rooms available for outside lets. 2006 saw the addition of a number of new attractions including the Garden Gallery, Coffee Shop & Ropery Hall, a venue for live music, theatre & cinema.
