HU3 Come to Tea

Created by and for the HU3 community, HU3 Come to Tea is a mini food festival with a difference. In an area more typically dealing with food poverty than food festivals, it will galvanise the incredibly international population and the unifying potential of food to bring people together and raise awareness of what HU3 offers. Over two weeks, EofUs and partners, high street businesses, local food providers, local community groups and residents will unearth, connect, fill bellies, activate, celebrate and build on the food and human potential of the area.

Rootstock

Our third Rootstock festival takes place on Saturday 22nd June. The weather has been fantastic for the first two, so lets hope it behaves itself on Saturday.

At last years Rootstock there was a great mix of musical styles, folk, hip hop and stuff that we’d rather not categorise, try as we might. As well as the music our arts and crafts stalls are always popular giving our community the opportunity to experience togetherness through music, arts and food.

The festival is outdoors and the attractions are accessible for all. Our site is alcohol free. There is no booze and no bull, making the entire day an enjoyable experience for all.

Avenues Open Gardens

Avenues Open Gardens 2024

Avenues Open Gardens is an urban open gardens event that takes place in the HU5 area of Hull over two Sunday afternoons in late June / July every year.
There are usually around 40 private gardens open plus allotments, so there is typically something of interest to every gardener.

The gardens show a diversity of gardening styles complimented by the interesting and unique architecture of the buildings. Many gardens are large extending to 150ft with original features such as stable blocks and outhouses.

The event is complimented by outdoor music and theatre and runs from 13:00 to 17:00 each day. Many houses also offer a wide range of refreshments. There are, of course plants for sale.

Proceeds are for Dove House and Rooted in Hull.

Yellow Day 2025

Yellow Day’ was a project that I rolled out across Hull, – with the help of countless people from all corners of the aforementioned city – on Saturday June 24th 2017.

The day itself was created to help people from Hull to celebrate their love of their city, and it’s fascinating history, by means of wearing or creating something yellow.

I chose the colour yellow because it’s a psychologically uplifting colour, and it resonates spontaneity, optimism, positivity and energy. And I intended to link all of those elements with people’s love of Hull and its long and influential history. Furthermore, I chose yellow because it is a colour that is intrinsically linked with Hull, as this was the colour of the the three coronets that featured in Hull’s original coat of arms.

This year’s theme is boats #yellowdayhull
