Hull’s Culture & Heritage: A Vision for Growth and Inclusion

Hull’s cultural landscape is built on a deep-rooted heritage, a thriving creative sector, and a passionate community of artists, musicians, and cultural organisations. To ensure our city continues to grow as a vibrant hub for culture, we are setting out a bold and collaborative vision for the future.

This page brings together Hull’s Culture & Heritage Strategy, Music Plan, Delivery Plan, and Public Art Strategy—key frameworks that will guide investment, shape opportunities, and support the people and industries that drive our creative economy.

Developed in partnership with local communities, cultural leaders, and industry professionals, these strategies outline how we will strengthen Hull’s cultural offer, create sustainable opportunities for artists and businesses, and make creativity accessible to all.

Explore the plans below and see how, together, we’re shaping the future of Hull’s culture and heritage.

Hull Public Art Policy

Public art is part of the DNA of Hull and plays a significant role in its sense of place and identity. From memorials to trails, from large-scale murals to sculptures and artworks integrated within regeneration
schemes, it acts as a powerful public commitment to the value and importance Hull places on culture, art and creativity.
