Hull Minster is an amazing place to be enjoyed by the whole community. For over 700 years we have stood in the heart of Hull’s Old Town as its civic church which welcomes all through our doors.
Our magnificent medieval building has many interesting spaces which are used for a wide variety of activities and events from artistic and cultural performances, recitals and exhibitions, receptions and celebrations, banquets and festivals. We have hosted a wide range of events such as fashion shows, rock and pop concerts, classical and choral recitals and concerts, networking events and training courses, history talks, graduation ceremonies and youth parties.
