As the weekend’s heatwave begins to wane, the weather in Hull is once again pleasantly warm, sunny, and perfect for days out. We’ve put together yet another list of our favourite events around the city and beyond, to help you enjoy it! Pearson Park Live, Rapunzel, and The South Blockhouse’s Festival of Archaeology Open Day are fantastic open-air events, and if you need to escape the heat we have plenty of indoor offerings too, such as Shark Summer: Into the Jaws, and the Makers Market.

The Play That Goes Wrong
Sat 23 Jul 2022 @ Hull New Theatre
Saturday marks your last chance to see Mischief’s multi-award-winning international smash hit comedy The Play That Goes Wrong!
The Cornley Drama Society are putting on a 1920s murder mystery, but as the title suggests, everything that can go wrong… does! As the accident-prone thesps battle on against all the odds to reach their final curtain call, hilarious results ensue!
Hailed “a gut-busting hit” by the New York Times, The Play That Goes Wrong, now in its seventh year in the West End, has won a host of celebrity endorsements from the likes of Joanna Lumley “We laughed until the tears ran down our faces, it has to be seen” to Ant & Dec “The funniest show we’ve seen! If you can get a ticket, go!”

The South Blockhouse – Festival of Archaeology Open Day
Sat 23 Jul 2022 @ South Blockhouse
Built in the early years of the 1540’s Henry VIII’s South Blockhouse can be viewed as a mirror against which the worries and anxieties of British monarchs, as well as national and local governments, were reflected for nearly 400 years.
This year the people of Hull are spending the summer uncovering the story of this nationally important monument, and as part of the Festival of Archaeology, the site will be open to the public.
