Hull is hotting up this March with a number of exciting events and shows taking place. Here’s just a little taste of what you can get your teeth into.
Colliderfest
Various locations, Thursday 13 March until Sunday 16 March
A new and exciting science and art festival arrives in Hull this month. Colliderfest brings together a weekend of exciting sciences and arts-based activities, with educational events for schools and workshops and shows across the city centre.
Cultural Tides Conference
Hull Truck Theatre, Friday 14 March
Cultural Tides – the must attend conference for culture in Hull – returns this month. This year will see the launch of Hull’s new Culture and Heritage Strategy 2025-30. Speakers will include Darren Henley (Chief Executive: Arts Council England), Eilish McGuinness (Chief executive: National Lottery Heritage Fund) and Sandra Wall (UNESCO Creative Cities Network Norrskoping).
The Book of Mormon
Hull New Theatre, Tuesday 4 March until Saturday 22 March
The outrageous musical comedy from creators of South Park, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, and Bobby Lopez, co-writer of Avenue Q and Frozen, hits Hull this March. The New York Times calls it ‘The best musical of this century.’ The Washington Post says, ‘It is the kind of evening that restores your faith in musicals.’
The Wombats
Connexin Live, Sunday 23 March
Two years since scoring their debut UK #1 album with Fix Yourself Not The World, The Wombats are back and bigger than ever. Oh! The Ocean trembles with the confessional emotional honesty that makes the Liverpool band’s music as cathartic and relatable as it is catchy and playful, to their continuously growing young fanbase.
Of Mice and Men
Hull Truck Theatre, Wednesday 5 March until Saturday 22 March
Of Mice and Men remains as powerful and relevant today as it did when originally written in 1937. Based on Steinbeck’s classic novella, and with themes of friendship, migration and prejudice, this play continues to move and resonate with audiences of all ages and backgrounds.
