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.
Admission Free
Open Monday - Saturday - 10am - 5pm, Sundays & Bank Holidays - 10am - 4pm

The Ropewalk is now able to offer our patrons the opportunity to buy Fathom Press’s two publications, Ropeworks and Family Ties, online.
Ropewalk focuses on the 200 year old history of Hall’s Barton Ropery before it closed in 1989 while Family Ties tells the stories and memories of all those who worked at the factory.
It is hoped there will be the opportunity to purchase further merchandise from the galleries in the future.
