It’s an exciting week in Hull with Humber Street Sesh on the horizon! Leading up to it we have a selection of other events too as usual! Theatrical productions like Alice In Wonderland, musical productions such as Gabrielle, indoor & outdoor events such as Hull Brickfest 2022 and Beverly Racecourse’s Ladies day, and more!
Humber Street Sesh
Sat 13 Aug 2022 @ Humber Street
Humber Street Sesh, the multi-award-winning music festival, will return to its spiritual home on Hull Marina on Saturday 13th August, with early bird tickets on sale now! Festival organisers, Sesh Events Ltd, are delighted to bring the festival back to its birthplace after three years away.
The pandemic put paid to the festival in 2020, followed by flood barrier work preventing Humber Street Sesh 2021. Inner City Sesh, a new, smaller event was staged in Queen’s gardens last year, supported by Hull City Council.
This year the festival will take place on the east side of the Marina, with a free fringe area encompassing Humber Street and Stage@thedock that will stage some events. The fringe area will allow Marina businesses to operate without festival constraints and lessen the event’s impact on the burgeoning residential areas.

Daily until Sun 18 Dec 2022 @ Burton Constable Hall
Behind closed doors at Burton Constable Hall on the outskirts of Hull is a hive of activity as staff prepare the Elizabethan mansion for its grand reopening on 9th April for the 2022 season.

With never-before displayed archive material featuring sketches by the globe-trotting military officer Sir Charles and his wife Mary Barbara and diary entries and emotional letters between them and their children half a world away, this year there is something new for everyone to discover.

Confluence: Crossings & Guiding Lights
Thu 11 Aug – Sat 3 Sep 2022 @ Hull Minster
This new series of film and photographic work by Tracey Holland will be on show at Hull Minster this summer. It focuses on ever-changing borderlines, the transience and continual ebb and flow of the estuarine environment, a terrain of intervention, long rivers, histories and memories.
By using film, photography and audio, the work aims to enhance a sense of place for people on either side of the Humber, united rather than divided by the estuary, highlighting its defining characteristics, and identifying how closely rooted and formed by place we are, and how place and identity aid our sense of belonging somewhere.
Histories and memories are rooted within a particular place, and Holland’s new series of works is a contemplation and visualisation of this psycho-geographic sense of place.
