Hull’s cultural and arts venues reflect its heritage and the legacy of its UK City of Culture status. The Museum Quarter encompasses institutions such as the Ferens Art Gallery and Wilberforce House, presenting collections and exhibitions spanning history and fine art. The Old Town, with its cobbled lanes, houses smaller galleries and performance spaces, fostering creative expression. The city hosts annual events, including the Freedom Festival and the Larkin 25 Festival, often utilising public spaces for performances and installations. These venues offer diverse programmes for all interests.
