Most cities can draw in visitors from a radius, the size of which depends upon the size of the city. In spite of the Humber Bridge, the places that we in Hull can draw from are limited. But we have other things than shops. The Deep is very successful. Visit the City's museums and art gallery, which are brilliant (and free!). Or trace your way around the Old Town by following the Fish Trail (details from the tourist information centre in Queen Victoria Square). For those with more specialised tastes, we can show you more hand-pulled ales in the space of a hundred yards that you could shake a tankard at! And on Wednesday afternoons this area also features the Hull and District Elderly Gentlemen's Afternoon Binge-Drinking Club (Folk Music Section), possibly the most cultural event in the future City of Culture. Our biggest city centre shops would be Hammonds (House of Fraser), Debenhams, British Home Stores. They're all bigger than Primark. But like with everywhere else shopping in Hull is moving away from City Centres. Get in touch next time you're over and we'll culture you up!
