Summer is looking bright in Hull city centre with a whole host of events for all ages, starting with Pride in Hull.
Hosted in a number of sites and venues, the event returns next Saturday (26 July) and promises to be a vibrant celebration, all under the inclusive banner of this year’s theme: “You’re Welcome.”
At the centre of the festivities, Zebedee’s Yard will be the city’s beating heart, hosting headline performances from Queenz and Boot Luv/Big Brovaz. The main stage will also champion local artists throughout the day, underscoring Hull’s commitment to homegrown talent.
The centrepiece parade, which starts at 11am, winds through Hull’s city centre, offering a moving display of joy and togetherness. Find out more about Pride in Hull here.
