Another week in Hull, another exciting selection of events! This week we have music performances from Grace Petrie, UB40, and Jersey Boys, as well as comedy shows from Russel Brand and Omid Djalili. The weekend is packed with events too, with tours of Hull Minster and the Beverley Gin Festival providing great opportunities to get out and enjoy yourself.
Jersey Boys
17 – 28 May 2022 @ Hull New Theatre
The Internationally acclaimed stage sensation, JERSEY BOYS is working its way back to Hull New Theatre.
This smash-hit musical has won 65 major awards and has been seen by over 27 million people worldwide.
They were just four guys from Jersey until they sang their very first note. They had a sound nobody had ever heard… and the radio just couldn’t get enough of it. But while their harmonies were perfect on stage, off stage it was a very different story – a story that has made them an international sensation all over again.
