Some times things just come together, in a perfect storm, to create unmissable and memorable moments.
The London Olympics had Super Saturday (gold medals everywhere), Leicester City winning the Premier League and the release of Pokemon Go are just a few examples from recent memory.
Hull is set to have one of those moments this weekend when art, culture and science collide across the city.
Colliderfest, the annual science and arts festival, returns and features Olympic medalists, dancing robots and journeys into outer space.
There are also lots of free family activities across the weekend including e-gaming, model wind-turbine building, printing 3D bees, singing and storytime.
On Friday 13 March Cultural Tides 2026 brings together local, national, and international voices to explore how heritage, technology, and global partnerships can shape the city’s future.
Then, the following day, Hull will host its own ‘Super Saturday’ when Back To Ours joins the party with the Our City event in Queen Victoria Square.
The centre of the city will transform into a carnival of colour, music and spectacle as hundreds of local residents take part in a major community-led celebration.
The free event, directed by Hull-based arts charity Back to Ours and supported and funded by Hull City Council, will feature two walking processions and an evening finale in Queen Victoria Square, with participation from local organisations, charities, sports teams, families.
Whatever your plans are for this weekend, cancel them, you don’t want to miss this…
