The weather is getting warmer, the days are getting longer and Spring is just around the corner.
Here’s why Hull is the place to be this March –
Healthy Holidays
Various locations in Hull, starts end of March, various dates and times
Healthy Holidays host tonnes of activities across the city during the school holidays for children age 5-16 years old.
The programme includes sport, creative activities and family fun.
The Tower of Light
Hull Marina, Thursday 14 March, 7.10pm
The Tower of Light celebrates the Lighthouse, and the people who lived and worked in them: the Lighthouse Keepers who kept sailors safe for centuries. It is a beautifully choreographed piece of outdoor theatre, centred around a spectacular Lighthouse and its three hapless Lighthouse Keepers who keep the Tower animated with light, fire and stunning pyrotechnic effects.
Prior to the event, a flaming torch-lit procession featuring 500 volunteers will make its way from Hull Minster to Hull Marina.
Sarah Millican
Connexin Live, Friday 22 and Saturday 23 March, 7pm
One of the UK’s funniest stand-ups returns to Hull this month. In Late Bloomer, Sarah’s brand-new stand-up show, she explores going from a shy child into one of the loudest voices in comedy.
Animal Farm
Hull Truck Theatre, 27 March until 13 April, various times
George Orwell’s enduring and devastating satire about the corruption of power will be brought vividly to life on stage in this compelling drama.
When the downtrodden animals of Manor Farm overthrow their master and take over, they imagine it is the beginning of a life of freedom and equality for all. However, over time a cunning and brutal elite among them, masterminded by the pigs Napoleon and Snowball, gradually take control.
Life of Pi
Hull New Theatre, 26-30 March, various times
Based on the best-selling book by Yann Martel, the five-star hit show comes to Hull. After an epic storm in the Pacific Ocean, Pi is stranded on a lifeboat with four other survivors – a hyena, a zebra, an orangutan, and a Royal Bengal tiger.
Based on the global phenomenon and winner of the Man Booker Prize, selling over fifteen million copies worldwide, Life Of Pi is the hugely popular story of an epic journey of endurance and hope.
