City Hall is home to a grand central hall which plays host to a varied programme of concerts including pop, rock and classical music as well as civic functions such as graduation ceremonies for the University of Hull. The city’s main tourist Information office and shop is based on the building’s ground floor.
The main hall has a floor, balcony and gallery with total capacity for 1,200 people seated, or up to 1,800 with a mixture of standing on the main floor and seated on the balcony and gallery.
Records indicate that Hull City Hall was first in use back in 1909, although it was never “officially” opened.
