Dear Hull Minster supporters and followers.
We are halfway through the 4-night run of Luxmuralis “Science”. A light and sound spectacle show that tours the UK. We wanted to bring such a high calibre show to the people of Hull.
We are sorry to be writing this. One of the things we try to do at Hull Minster is to be transparent and open about the difficulties we face day to day as a charity.
We are a church and an events centre. There are daily challenges in being both.
We behave as an events centre to raise the money we need to cover our running costs and fund our charity work.
So here goes…
We are halfway through the show, with only 2 shows left and we are only at 60% of ticket sales to cover our costs.
This makes for a significant and terrifying impact on our financial position. If we do not reach our ticket income target, it will affect our future ability to bring shows of this calibre into Hull.
Our team have an unwavering belief in the power, importance and potential of events in our amazing space.
We understand money is tight right now.
Running an events centre during a cost-of-living crisis has never been harder. Costs are increasing much faster than our income.
But Hull knows how to put on a show, and we know there is an audience out there somewhere.
This is a very difficult message to write, but we implore you to buy a ticket £8.50 and spread the word. If you already have a ticket or have already been, then thank you. Is there anything more you could do to support us?
For example, tell a friend. Go onto your socials and share a post or write a positive review. Buy a ticket and gift it to someone else.
Please join us in this push to the line so we can continue to be the best events space we can be.
Thank you for reading this.
Hull Minster Team.
