Hull City Council will host a civic reception for Hull KR as they celebrate their Betfred Super League Grand Final 2025 win – and completion of an unprecedented treble – with a parade on Sunday 12 October.
Open-top buses will make their way from Sewell Group Craven Park to the city centre, culminating with thousands of fans witnessing their heroes with the trophy on the balcony of Hull City Hall.
The players and staff will set off from their home ground at 3.45pm, arriving at the City Hall approximately 45 minutes later.
The parade route will be:
- Sewell Group Craven Park
- Preston Road
- Marfleet Lane/Maybury Road
- Holderness Road
- Freetown Way
- Ferensway
- Carr Lane, finishing on Paragon Street alongside Hull City Hall
The event outside the City Hall in Queen Victoria Square will get underway from 3.30pm, hosted by Neil Rudd, with the celebrations featuring a range of music and entertainment, ahead of the team appearing on the City Hall balcony at 4:30pm.
A big screen will show highlights of the team’s journey in reaching the final, along with footage of their win over Wigan Warriors.
There will be a host of interviews with the players, coaches and others, while the team will get the chance to thank fans for their amazing support.
The event will finish at 5:30pm, with the crowd joining in with a big singsong of the club’s anthem, ‘Red Red Robin’.
Cllr Mike Ross, leader of the council, said: “Congratulations to Hull KR. To win the treble, the first time a team from Hull has done so, is an incredible achievement.
“A tremendous amount of effort has gone into your fantastic season, and it is only right that the council helps you to celebrate this.
“Well done, you have done the city proud.”
An accessible viewing area for wheelchair users will be available to the front of the stage area. This area will be clearly indicated on the day. No bookings are necessary, though numbers will be limited to 25 people, to include wheelchair users and one helper, which will be allocated on a first come, first served basis.
A small number of road closures will be in place on Sunday to allow for the event.
Paragon Street will be closed from 5am to 8pm, while Carr Lane will shut from 1pm-6.30pm.
Bus users are advised to check with local operators to find out any changes to routes.
