There’s a jam-packed festive-themed week of events in Hull & East Yorkshire! With Christmas just around the corner, the festivities are ramping up. Tuesday sees the start of Hull Minsters’ Christmas tree festival which will be officially opened by the Lord Mayor.

Other festive events include a Wreath Making Workshop, Hull Christmas Market, Cottingham Christmas Festival. There’s also live music at the The Sesh and from rock legends, The Darkness, at Bonus Arena. Don’t forget about the final Trinity Laughs of 2021 and the grand-opening of the new Hammonds of Hull!

Take a look at the full list below…

Christmas Tree Festival

Hull Minster 30th Nov – 12th December

Lord Mayor, Councillor Lynn Petrini, will officially open the Christmas Tree Festival at 11am on 30 November. 

Business and organisations have been invited by the Lord Mayor to take part in a charity Christmas Tree Festival.

It costs £10 to enter a tree, and people can sponsor a tree for £20.

The festival runs from Tuesday 30th November to Sunday 12th December in Hull Minster.

The Sesh

Polar Bear Music Club – 30th November

Autosuggestion: Called ‘the polar bear house band’ when they first hit the scene by some because they seemed to be on every bill at the club. They continue to bring a captivating, energetic sound that belies their age due to thier calculated lyricism and pummelling instrumentation.

Fuzz Lightyear: A band used to playing dingy basements and rooms filled with roudy pits, Fuzz Lightyear emerges from the chaos of the Leeds punk scene bringing with them a torrent of horrific Noise-Grunge to satisfy your tinnitus.

Bill Worry: New kids on the block. No music released just yet. Guess you’re going to have to get down to see what they’re like.

Trinity Laughs

Trinity Market – Friday 3rd December

The final Trinity Laughs of 2021 promises to be a big one with headliner Noel James.

Britain’s Got Talent finalist Noel James’ credits are too numerous to list in full so we asked him to write his own biography to give you an idea how this bizarre mans brain ticks.

“My name is Infact Noel James, although I never pronounce the Infact…” These are the first words of Infact Noel James’ act – an act which, dare I say, confounds even his closest psychopathic hangers-on. For eight years, Noel has performed comedy throughout the UK. He does it for a living and has performed at all the major clubs and festivals. Glastonbury, Reading, Edinburgh to name but three.

Before entering showbiz old Noel tried his hand at teaching. Without much success, he taught English as a foreign language: he taught it as Welsh! WELSH – Old English translation meaning ‘Foreign’ The above definition gains significance when you perceive his lilting delivery.

Not only does it have totally tropical taste and perfect timing but indeed it stems from his mouth which has its dark origins firmly rooted in that far-off land called Wales. As you will see, the rest of his body has no fixed abode but it’s amazing what a transplant operation can do. But not for him the comedy of stereotyping – he finds it all too easy. Well, he is a Capricorn (near the Sagittarius end which makes him a Saggycorn)- His act is gag, gag, gag all the way – though some of it consists of non-baby-talk.

Above all, his act is highly original; the guy who wrote it assured him of this. Surreal, bizarre, absurd, intelligent, and yet, somehow strangely attractive. No, seriously he is a very accessible act who generally goes down well anywhere.
TV Credits worth mentioning include: Packing Them in -Channel 4 The Stand-up Show -BBC Giamocs -S4C The last one you may not have heard of. It was a Welsh language Show which Noel Co-wrote and starred in and it got nominated for the Rose of Montreauxoxex (and that’s true).

He’s also done a bit of serious acting, and as for music! Well, what he does is throw in a bit of guitar playing and singing, of a sort, as well as a few prop gags. I’m telling you, this man is so spontaneous he’d combust if it didn’t ruin his shirt! He’s really funny.
