High culture, low cost
If you’re still thirsty for more, Absolutely Cultured (the company formed in the wake of Hull UK City of Culture 2017) host free events, like the spectacular Urban Legends: Northern Lights, which told stories of Scandinavian mythology or local spooky happenings in The Witching Hour.
Speaking of Absolutely Cultured, they also run the incredible Humber Street Gallery, where you can enjoy contemporary visual art in exchange for an entirely optional donation.
In fact, all of Hull’s galleries and museums are completely free to enter. So, you can spend days getting to grips with Hull’s seafaring history (and meet a MASSIVE whale) at the Maritime Museum, explore Feren’s Art Gallery, which was home to the 2017 Turner Prize, or step back in time at the Streetlife Museum.
And if your take on modern art is more Lion King than Lichtenstein, you can settle down to the latest blockbuster for less than half the cost of your London counterparts, with cinema tickets costing an average of £6*.
