Renamed Kingston upon Hull in 1299 under Edward I, it grew into a major maritime and trading hub. Its history informs much of its cultural life; events frequently reflect this heritage. Explore events that bring the story of the docks and trading links to life, or consider a performance that celebrates the city’s resilience following the Second World War.
