Grimsby Philatelic Society Est. 1934
About the Society

Stamp collectors of Grimsby, together since 1934

A small, friendly society dedicated to the enjoyment and study of philately in North East Lincolnshire.

Our Story

A local society with a shared passion

The Grimsby Philatelic Society exists to bring together anyone with an interest in stamps and postal history — from lifelong collectors to complete beginners. We meet twice a month to share displays, hear talks from members and visiting speakers, and buy, sell and swap material at our regular auctions.

There are many years of combined knowledge and experience on all kinds of different philatelic subjects in our society, if you are a newcomer to the hobby you are very welcome to pay us a visit and learn, if you are a seasoned and experienced collector you are welcome to share your knowledge and experience with us.
