The owners of a Grimsby art gallery are gearing up to host a monumental world record attempt. Dale Wells and Darren Neave, who own the Turntable Gallery on Grimsby Docks, are aiming to beat the current world record of 1,100 of the most messages in a bottle to go on display at any one time. As part of Festival of the Sea on Saturday, June 22, members of the public are invited to bring their own glass bottles to Alexandra Dock, near the Fishing Heritage Centre, with their own messages or pieces of art in them, or use one of the bottles already provided.
Alternatively, they can send their messages via email.

We've got hundreds of bottles at the moment and people can come and place their messages in them or bring their own bottles with messages in them and display them alongside everyone else's.
"People can write anything they want in there, it's entirely private, it won't be public or read out.

Darren Neave and Dale Wells opened the gallery las.
