Hi ,

As the festive season sparkles in Hull & East Yorkshire, we're back to sprinkle some extra cheer!

For those looking to indulge in festive dining, we've curated a list of Hull and East Yorkshire’s most tempting festive menus. It's the perfect way to celebrate the season's spirit!

In exciting news, fast-food fans have something to look forward to - the world’s largest Wendy’s is opening its doors in Hull on Thursday, December 14th, taking over the former site of Papas Fish & Chips at Kingswood Retail Park!

Also, Hull’s historical gem, Stepney Station on Beverley Road, has been beautifully restored and is now ready to be admired in all its former glory.

And, of course, we have our weekly roundup of events. Get enchanted by the timeless tale of 'Cinderella' at Hull New Theatre, or dive into the magical world of 'Princess and The Frog' at Hull Truck Theatre. For a soulful celebration, 'A Motown Merry Christmas' at Doubletree by Hilton Hull promises an evening filled with classic hits and festive joy. Have a read of the article, and if you're still not satisfied, check out our events directory to see everything else going on!

Now I'd like to ask a favour from you...

I've been running Hull What's On since 2014 and our newsletter has nearly 11,000 subscribers!

But there's still a lot of people who would love to know what's on in Hull & East Yorkshire, and would love our newsletter but don't yet know about it.

So please will you share it with just one person you know? It'll make a massive difference to them.

Thank you as always, and enjoy a festive week wherever you are!
