Theater in Hull

“Middleton Hall is an iconic and historic building at the University of Hull, located in the heart of the campus. The hall, which serves as a venue for events, conferences, and performances, has a rich history that dates back to the early 18th century. Originally, the hall was built in 1735 as a private residence for Thomas Atkinson, a wealthy local merchant. It was designed in the Georgian style and featured elegant architecture and exquisite detailing. The house remained in the Atkinson family until the mid-19th century when it was sold to another local merchant named Henry Briggs. Over the years, the hall changed hands several times and underwent numerous renovations and expansions. In the 1930s, it was acquired by Hull University College, which had recently been established and was looking for a suitable venue for its activities. The hall was extensively refurbished and transformed into a stunning venue that could accommodate large groups of people. Throughout the years, Middleton Hall has served as an essential hub for the university's cultural and social activities. It has hosted countless events, ranging from concerts and theater performances to academic conferences and public lectures. The hall has also been used as a venue for exams, graduations, and other official ceremonies. In recent years, the hall has undergone a significant renovation to ensure that it remains a vibrant and relevant venue for future generations. The renovation included the installation of state-of-the-art technology, new seating, and improved lighting and acoustics. The hall's beautiful Georgian features were preserved and enhanced, ensuring that it remains a unique and historic venue. In conclusion, Middleton Hall is an integral part of the University of Hull's history and identity. Its elegant architecture and rich heritage make it a unique and special venue that continues to play an essential role in the cultural and social life of the university and the wider community”

“Attended the Majorette competition with my daughter. Large spacious, lift access /disabled compliance. Security was great with on point guys asking for proof of entry. Bar service was great in the cafe and the bars round the ballroom area. Food in the main cafe was good , with nice cakes selection and plenty of food options,plus a great view. Food offerings in the inner cafe just off the ballroom floor were very poor and overpriced.”

“Fantastic place, it was the weekend so free parking and a 3 min walk. Theatre was really good.”

“I began dancing at Rhythm and Dreams Dancing Centre 12 years ago after a long break from dancing, and my two children followed shortly afterwards. All of the classes are fantastic and my children have developed preferences for their own style, although they are still very exited about all of the dancing they do. We all enjoy the classes, shows and competitions we now have the opportunity to take part in and I have watched my children grow in confidence and ability. Thank you to everyone at Rhythm and Dreams for being the people you are, your kindness goes beyond professionalism. Over the years Rhythm and Dreams has become like a second family. It is one of my favourite places to be. There is a great atmosphere and everyone is so supportive and friendly. Thanks again.”

“From the booking process to the end of the event, Starbrite was absolutely fantastic. We wanted something different to the usual soft play for our 5 year olds party and initially was worried that the younger kids might find it difficult but nevermind that! The dance teachers did such an incredible job working around the different abilities among the children. The work, time and thought that went into making the event suitable for the age range, as well customizing our chosen theme left me speechless. We did a bit of decorating before but with the lights and final touches added by Miss Emma and Mr. P, everything was stunning and felt magical. We hired the cafe for the parents to wait while the kids enjoyed their time. A few parents commented on how lovely it was to sit and enjoy a very lovely and affordably priced hot drink, some even had a bit of ice cream which was well received. Thank you so much for everything. Definitely a party to remember.”

“It is such a good place to shop no problem with parking ever. Love it xxxx”

“We actually went to the little park it's bloody beautiful very quiet and brilliant for my sons who have additional needs”

“Film was great in 3d (Tron)! Snacks were lovely and the cinema is clean from the screens to the toilets. Sean and Paul are amazing and so friendly. Definitely worth a visit if you’re around.”

“I found Opera beds when looking to replace my old adjustable bed and I'm really glad I did. Opera were fantastic: really helpful team and the options were much wider than I'd seen from other companies. The beds also look reasonably modern and stylish, which my old bed hadn't. I was surprised by how lightweight the frame was too as with my old bed I could barely move it when I needed to clean or hoover. I opted for the installation service and my new ned arrived within the week, with the two guys who brought it building it in record speed. Josh was lovely and talked me through how the whole bed worked and what to do if I had any issues. I would definitely recommend.”

Gregg’s does have toilets and open till 7:30pm sells great tuna and chicken salad rolls and meal deals! The Range was fun to shop In with blinds curtains picture frames and any house gold goods. Boots have a superstore here but one again y can’t use their toilets even if ur disabled as I asked today in despair!”
