Events in Kingston Upon Hull From 13th April – 19th April 2026

Home · Events in Kingston upon Hull This Week

Events in Kingston upon Hull this week feature regular community gatherings and cultural activities across several areas from 12 to 19 April 2026, following established patterns in how locals use public spaces. In Queen’s Gardens on Wednesday afternoons, families join craft sessions building suncatchers from recycled glass and assembling K’Nex boats with help from volunteer mentors, activities that mirror past workshops held near St Stephen's Shopping Centre. These are run by Hull City Council’s youth outreach programme to keep access easy.

Evening events take place mainly around Humber Bridge zones and along the River Hull quaysides, where music sets highlight the city’s maritime history, bands drawing on North Sea fishing themes or Scandinavian influences from post-war rebuilding. On Friday 14 April, a tribute act plays songs once popular in pubs like The Old Ship on Dock Street; Saturday evenings include performances at Hull Paragon Interchange near MKM Stadium, where house music blends with early 2000s pop tunes.

All events end before midnight and avoid low-lying flood-risk areas such as Paull and Hessle. Public transport remains a solid choice given delays from railway level crossings; buses to Paragon Interchange run adjusted schedules during event weeks. See listings below for exact times and locations across the city’s east-west stretch from East Park to Victoria Dockside, including spots within Hull Docks Branch railway line corridors used seasonally by touring groups.
