Welcome to the Ropewalk Website. Ropewalk Contemporary Art & Craft is a regionally acclaimed centre for the arts housing four gallery spaces, a sculpture garden, coffee shop and facilities for room hire, printmaking and picture framing. The Ropewalk is situated slightly to the east of the Humber Bridge, on the southern bank of the River Humber. 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 1767, the factory eventually closed in

This Week... Work in Progress
With the aid of an award from Arts Council England, Yorkshire The Ropewalk is continuing its programme of gradual renovation and improvements. Between September 1 -7 there might be a slight disruption in normal service as we see the framing room, print room and kitchen remodelled. The framing room will be closed for this period but we aim to keep the disruption to a minimum. When the work is completed we are sure that you will agree it was worth it!
