Walking around Hull and the market found the minster so we thought to pop in, During the visit we found that a trip up to the clock and bells could be done. Think it was only 10 pounds so nothing really. Met the bell ringers which was really nice they knew a lot about the history and the history of bell ringing in Hull. You can really see the City of hull at the top well worth the time but make sure you wrap up in the winter!

I love visiting churches and as a family historian, my particular interest is reading all the old memorials and gravestones, of which there are plenty here. Apparently the largest parish church in England, this place had a title upgrade to being called a Minster more recently. As well as including an interesting range of stained glass, there are some impressive painted ceilings. We bought a guide but there are also QR codes so you can follow several different heritage trails. Free to visit but donations appreciated.

Didn't get chance to climb the tower but had a lovely quiche and wedges in the cafe! All staff seemed kind and knowledgeable, definitely worth a visit

I was in Hull completing the Mischief of Rats Sculpture Trail. Having walked into the city via the marina, I couldn't resist a look inside the beautiful Minster. The staff were so welcoming and answered all my questions. I also took the opportunity to have a cuppa and cake at the cafe. I got talking to some lovely ladies here, too. Fabulous facilities here, too. Very clean. This is definitely worth a visit, whether for a reflective moment, prayer, or just simply to admire the architecture and stained glass windows. It had such a lovely feel about it that on another occasion, I would really want to get to a service.

Hull Minster is a Magnificent building among the old building. We walked past this building for three years and had never been inside. I saw they had an exhibition and event on Facebook; furthermore, I know it played a crucial role in WW2. Today, 14/2/23, we walked past it again then I decided to go in. They have a new cafe attached to the church it looks nice. It is free entry, but you can donate if you wish. They have a small souvenir shop at the corner where you can buy various things such as books, toys or jewellery etc. It is gorgeous architecture, nice and bright. I like the big colourful mosaic window, which shows Jesus’s story and the art of the ceilings. I’m Buddhist, but I appreciate this building. I will be back for the event if I can manage it. P.S. It locates next to the Trinity market, so you can find something to eat quickly.

What a mess, when we visited they had taken all of the pews away to make way for some vinyl event. It completely ruined our experience of wanting to see a historical attraction of Hull. It's also a place of worship, we felt no peace here with modern day pop blasting through the abbey. Massively disappointed.

A magnificent example of the perpendicular gothic style architecture. Built around the 1280s, it is the largest parish church in England by floor area. Several million pounds has been spent on the minster over the last few years, cleaning the stonework inside & out, essential repairs, a brand new cafe/ tearoom is now connected to the church, but, still, work goes on. Despite Hull being the most bombed city during the 2nd WW, the minster was left unscathed as the Luftwaffe used it as a navigation point when on mission to bomb cities such as Liverpool. Volunteers are on hand & are extremely helpful & knowledgeable. Tower tours are available, (Check online or upon your visit), there is also a small shop. Note' entry is free, but, donations are very welcome. I recommend a visit to this stunning building when visiting Hull.

Not only spiritual but a beautiful church. My grandson and I have a marvellous time on the archeology day, not only interesting but activities for children amazing. So much history to see

Apparently this is a largest parish church in England. When speaking to one the keepers in the church, it was holding Guinness world record. The church is big and free to enter. I personally liked visiting the church as you could feel holy presence. Services are being run regularly, so it’s not just tourist attraction.
