Hull has always done things its own way. Once England’s busiest port and a city that stood proudly apart during the Civil War, its spirit of independence runs deep. From the cobbled lanes of the Old Town to the vast Humber estuary, Hull’s story is one of resilience, reinvention, and community.
Today, that spirit shines through a city alive with culture and creativity. Its thriving independent food and drink scene, world-class museums, and vibrant festivals sit alongside a proud sporting tradition and a warm, down-to-earth welcome. Hull is a place shaped by its history but looking firmly to the future — a city with soul, grit, and something unique around every corner.
