Home · Events in Kingston upon Hull This Week

You can find a range of events across Kingston upon Hull this week, from intimate open mic nights to tribute acts playing pop and rock classics. Several pubs in the Old Town regularly host acoustic sessions, while venues around the MKM Stadium offer larger-scale entertainment. Check out the listings below for times and locations. You’ll also find community-focused activities like a jumble and craft trail at The Avenues, a short drive away. If you’re planning an evening out, consider visiting the Fruit Market area, known for its arts scene and live music options. The Humber Bridge and A63 corridor connect the city’s main venues, though parking can be limited during events. Many areas, especially low-lying ones like Paull and Hessle, face flood risk. Use the city’s public transport network for access to events, especially on the west side of the city. Remember to verify each venue’s location before travelling.
