The Vicar of Hull’s historic Holy Trinity Church today (September 29) paid tribute to the local businessman who is bringing music legend Rod Stewart to Hull and thanked him for nominating the church’s transformation project to benefit from the show.

The Rev Canon Dr Neal Barnes has written to MKM Executive Chairman David Kilburn congratulating him on his “coup” in securing the star’s performance at the KC Stadium next year.

Dr Barnes told Mr Kilburn everyone at Holy Trinity had been “bowled over” by his generosity in donating the event’s proceeds to Holy Trinity’s development project and Hull’s Daisy Appeal.

This last summer I have had the privilege of study leave. I spent a couple of weeks of it in Liverpool, meeting many different people and finding out what difference that city had experienced in and since 2008 when Liverpool was the European Capital of Culture. It became obvious that it has had a major impact, and this gives me hope for Hull in 2017. I especially wanted to find out how churches had engaged and used their Capital of Culture to bless their communities and share something of the love of God, and the richness of the creative gifts that he gives to us.

An Aston Martin, an E-Type Jaguar, and a Daimler will be among the spectacular vehicles on show outside Holy Trinity Church for its annual car show.

 The eye-catching event in Trinity Square on Monday, August 10th at 7pm, will bring together classic motors and super cars of all types and descriptions.

Holy Trinity is delighted and very proud to host one of the highlights of the 2015 Freedom Festival.

England’s largest parish church will provide a unique setting for Tubular Bells For Two, a ground-breaking reworking by just two musicians of Mike Oldfield's multi-layered, 20-instrument masterpiece.

Australian musicians Daniel Holdsworth and Aidan Roberts will perform Oldfield's seminal album - originally recorded in 1973 and the first release on Richard Branson’s Virgin record label - faithfully recreating the masterpiece in real time as they leap around the stage using more than 20 instruments.

The Vicar of historic Holy Trinity Church has thanked planning committee members for backing the transformation of Hull’s most amazing place.

 Hull City Council’s Planning Committee today granted full consent, with relatively minor conditions, for external changes to the Grade 1 listed building in the heart of Hull’s Old Town.

The changes are part of a £4.5m transformation of the magnificent building and its grounds to enable Holy Trinity, England’s largest parish church and one of Hull’s oldest surviving buildings, to replace outdated and inadequate facilities, become much more accessible to the community and host a wider range of cultural and social events.

It is with tremendous pride that we warmly invite you to join alumni, staff, students, civic dignitaries and friends of the University for the 2015 Founder’s Day Celebration, returning to Holy Trinity Church for the first time in a generation on 23rd April.

The Founder’s Day Celebration is a central part of the University calendar. It is the occasion when we recall and celebrate Thomas Ferens and his act of philanthropy which led to the founding of the University of Hull.
