Young people from Room 42 and the Warren Youth Project get ready to race.

Hull Adventure Centre opens in East Hull

The brand-new Hull Adventure Centre is open to the public today, Friday 1 March, with visitors now able to enjoy a bigger and better experience.

The centre, based at Hull Karting, has also launched a new website to enable quicker and easier online bookings.

Hull Adventure Centre has introduced archery-tag, bubble ball football and dodgeball, offering further and more accessible provision to its already exhilarating experience.

John Haines, Hull Adventure Centre manager, said: ā€œItā€™s fantastic that weā€™ve been able to launch Hull Adventure Centre and offer more activities to the people of Hull.

ā€œIā€™ve been here for 10 years now and when I first started in the youth sector, there were nearby outdoor pursuit facilities which people could travel to.

ā€œThose are no longer available, but what I want to do is bring that to the people of Hull, meaning they donā€™t have to travel to experience such facilities.

ā€œThis is just the start for Hull Adventure Centre. We can take our new activities off-site to schools and events, whilst weā€™ve also plans for high ropes and indoor caving too.ā€

Hull Karting marked its 20th anniversary at Poorhouse Lane, adjacent to Craven Park.

Lead worker at Hull Karting Chloe Waby, Cllr Paul Drake-Davis, Hull Adventure Centre manager John Haines and the council’s enterprise development manager Phil Hall with the plaque unveiled by Cllr Drake-Davis.

Cllr Paul Drake-Davis, portfolio holder for regeneration at Hull City Council, unveiled a plaque on the anniversary to mark the occasion and the launching of Hull Adventure Centre.

He said: ā€œHull Karting is a popular facility in Hull which already welcomes thousands of visitors each year and these new activities will mean that it can welcome even more.

ā€œItā€™s brilliant that we have this on our doorstep and there are big plans for Hull Adventure Centre too.

ā€œI have no doubt that it will be enjoyed by many for years to come.ā€

Young people from the councilā€™s Room 42, a project which supports care experienced young people, as well as their partners the ā€˜Warren Youth Projectā€™, a local charity that also provides support to young people in Hull, were invited to try out the new activities.

Phil Morris, personal advisor from the councilā€™s Room 42 project, said: ā€œIt’s great for Room 42 to have been invited and had the opportunity to be part of the Hull Adventure Centre launch.

ā€œOur Young People have had an amazing day with lots of laughs.

ā€œWe are looking forward to coming back and taking part in some more adventures this year.ā€
