Events in Kingston Upon Hull From 25th May – 31st May 2026

Home · Events in Kingston upon Hull This Week

You can find events in Kingston upon Hull this week across music, theatre, and community gatherings. Live sets and open mic nights are taking place at venues like the Gardeners Arms and O'Rileys, while Hull Truck Theatre hosts a stage musical. There’s also a tribute performance at Rio Music Bar and a fashion week event at Trinity Market. For fitness, a 10K run starts at East Park. All events are accessible via public transport, including routes through Hull Paragon Interchange. The A63 and Murdoch’s Connection link the city centre with surrounding areas, but parking is limited during events. The MKM Stadium and St Stephen’s Shopping Centre are occasional event venues, though most activity remains in central zones. Check listings for times and locations. Hull’s history as a 12th-century trading port and its 2017 City of Culture status contribute to ongoing artistic and community projects. The city rebuilt after wartime damage, and development continues around Hull Docks. East Park and Queen’s Gardens offer family-friendly spaces, though flood risk remains in low-lying areas like Paull and Hessle. Railway crossings and bridges over the River Hull can cause delays, especially during events.
