Hull

Hull & East Yorkshire offers a real Yorkshire welcome so why not hold your next event in our friendly and diverse locations.   The modern waterfront city of Hull with its rich and varied heritage offers state of the art conference halls, opulent civic venues and exquisite boutique hotels all just a few minutes from the new Hull Transport Interchange. 
 
For something more tranquil look no further than the picturesque villages and historic market towns of the Yorkshire Wolds, where you will find venues that provide the perfect ambiance for any event.  Everyone loves to be beside the seaside, experience award winning Bridlington beaches near the historic harbor and promenade, where Olde Worlde tea rooms and antique shops rub shoulders with the East Coast’s flagship venue, The Spa, which now offers top quality facilities for up to 3000 delegates.
