It’s the week of Christmas and the city is primed to bring you some fantastic festive celebration before the big day and beyond. This week there’s plenty of opportunity to catch a Christmas panto, if you haven’t already. There’s plenty of choice from Hull New Theatre’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Hull Tuck’s The Railway Children, and Middle Child’s Rapunz’ull. There’s a chance to meet the big man himself at Comedy Lounge and Humber Street. And there’s an evening of music and laughter from YES member, Rick Wakeman.
