About The City Brief Kingston Upon Hull

Your Personal Newsletter For All Local Events in Kingston Upon Hull

In Kingston upon Hull, The City Brief keeps neighbours updated on weekly events across the city. You can find gatherings in Old Town , a historic district with cobbled lanes and independent shops near Catherine Street Pumping Station. Performances take place at Sewell Group Craven Park Stadium’s community spaces, while live music from the Hull Jazz Festival fills The Marina area. Lectures such as the annual Wilberforce Lecture and Award occur on Holderness Road, highlighting Hull’s abolitionist roots.

Events in Bransholme are held near Newland Avenue, a central urban corridor that blends housing with shops and community services. In Humber Quays , one of several mixed-use developments just outside the city , activity often takes place on arterial roads like Hessle Road or Chanterlands Avenue, drawing visitors from areas including Beverley Road to Kingswood Retail Park.

Hull Marina, a modern waterfront area with apartments and marina facilities near Murdoch's Connection, hosts regular events. Sculptures along Fish Trail offer self-guided walks through Old Town, linking civic memory with daily navigation via sites like Amy Johnson’s Birthplace or the Telephone House. The Deep Shark Sculpture at Queens Gardens serves as an anchor for seasonal arts programming.

Museum Quarter , home to Ferens Art Gallery and Wilberforce House , hosts cultural projects such as Larkin 25 Festival installations, inviting public engagement through poetry, performance art, and community reading events near Albert Avenue Baths.
