Things to do in Hull
With fantastic shopping, superb museums, a world-class aquarium, plus a historic old town to explore, it's a city full of surprises – not least the colour of the local phone boxes!
Under the sea
Dive into The Deep in Hull, the futuristic aquarium rises from the waters like a giant sea monster. Adults and kids can come face-to-face with the creatures living below the waves both now and 145 million years ago with a mix of 3D displays and seawater pools. Journey through the world’s oceans, see over 3500 species, and don’t miss a trip in the lift through the middle of the central pool filled with rays, sharks, turtles and a sawfish. It’s an immersive experience for the entire family, especially younger members who can get hands on with sea creatures in the touchpool.
The DeepLife on the ocean waves
Hull has a rich cultural heritage which you can discover at the Hull Maritime Museum. Learn all about the seafaring people who called Hull home, their journeys far across the world and deep into the arctic, and the whaling that made Hull’s fortunes for years. You could also combine this with a visit to the Arctic Corsair which you’ll find on the River Hull. This former deep sea trawler is now a museum giving a flavour of life at sea.
Hull Maritime MuseumArt everywhere
Hull boasts some brilliant art galleries that are free to visit. Ferens in Queen Victoria Square has a vast permanent collection including works by Canaletto and Hockney. As well as spaces for travelling exhibitions, which bring a steady stream of art from around the world to the city. During 2017 there was even more artwork on display, a trend which is sure to continue.
Ferens
Get cultured
Humber Street plays host to Fruit Market, a cultural space in the old fruit district (you see what they did there?). Year round you’ll find a calendar full of theatre, live music, side-splitting comedy as well as markets and vintage fairs.
Fruit MarketHitting the shops
Who doesn’t enjoy a spot of retail therapy? St. Stephen’s has the usual high street options as does Princes Quay, but if you’re looking for something a little different, head for the grand Hepworth Arcade (which was home to one of Mr Mark’s and Mr Spencer’s first shops). Trinity Indoor market is home to lots of brilliant independent retailers where you’re sure to pick up a bargain.
