Hi ,

It’s the most wonderful time of the year, and Hull & East Yorkshire are buzzing with festive cheer!

This week, we’re sharing a roundup of the best Christmas parties in Hull and East Yorkshire to help you celebrate in style.

We’re also taking a closer look at the exciting transformation in Hull’s Old Town, where the former Argos store has been completely renovated to house the much-loved Pasco’s Italian restaurant and the innovative Federation of Sport e-sports hub.

We’ve been exploring the hidden gems and brilliant places that make Hull city centre a fantastic destination for a Christmas day out - be sure to check out the videos below!

And as always, there’s no shortage of events taking place across the region. Highlights this week include the opening of Goldilocks and the Three Bears at Hull New Theatre, an evening with the legendary Lioness Carol Thomas, and award-winning comedian Lucy Beaumont performing at Connexin Live.

If you’re looking for even more inspiration, don’t forget to check out our monthly events roundup and full event listings on the website.

We hope this week’s newsletter sparks plenty of festive plans. See you out there, and thank you for being part of the Hull What’s On community!
