Holy Trinity Church, Hull’s most amazing place, today (November 7) revealed ambitious plans to transform into a leading heritage, cultural and tourism venue by the 2017 UK City of Culture year.

 The Vicar of Holy Trinity, the Rev Canon Dr Neal Barnes, the Archbishop of York, Dr John Sentamu, and the Chair of Hull UK City of Culture 2017, Rosie Millard, came together to announce a £4.5m development project for England’s largest parish church.

Hull’s cultural and political leaders have thrown their support behind Holy Trinity’s ambitious £4.5 million development plans.

Chair of Hull UK City of Culture 2017, Rosie Millard, said: “Holy Trinity Church is one of the most beautiful and awe-inspiring buildings in the country, let alone in East Yorkshire.

“Through this transformation, Holy Trinity can become, once again, a focal point and a beacon in the historic heart of Hull. I’m delighted to see the church looking to the future in ways that will introduce it to a wide, new audience.”

A poignant new play about how the First World War impacted the lives of Hull women is coming to Holy Trinity next month.

Based on factual events, this new drama which includes music and poetry, looks at the war on the Home Front through the eyes of five fictional characters, who work at Madame Clapham’s in Kingston Square (now The Kingston Theatre Hotel). It will be performed in the amazing surroundings of Holy Trinity by local dramatic group, Theatre On The Edge

Holy Trinity is delighted to announce that it has joined Hull’s rapidly-growing business network, The Bondholders.

Almost 250 businesses and organisations are now part of the scheme, working together to raise the profile of Hull and the Humber.

Holy Trinity is supporting an appeal to help bring relief to thousands of people caught up in the Ebola crisis in our twin city of Freetown, in Sierra Leone.

Hull’s Ebola Crisis Appeal is raising money to provide buckets with taps, chlorine tablets, soap and bleach which will be distributed around the city to help in the fight against the deadly disease.

Holy Trinity pioneer minister Rev’d Matt Woodcock and former soldier Danny Johnson have raised more than £400 for church funds after running the Mablethorpe Half Marathon.

The lads completed the gruelling course in a time of 1 hour 53 minutes.

She has faithfully dusted and vacuumed Holy Trinity for decades in an effort to keep the church gleaming.

Now 88-year-old Una Beswick has hung up her feather duster for the last time and retired from cleaning duties.

Thousands of people flocked to Trinity Square for a weekend of great music at the Hull Trinity Festival.

It was a magical night at the Almighty Fundraiser in Holy Trinity on Friday as some of Hull's best acoustic acts made a heavenly sound and generated much needed funds for the church.
