Hi ,

Excitement is in the air this week in Hull & East Yorkshire, with a host of events to get us into the festive spirit!

Hull's Victorian Christmas returns this Saturday & Sunday, now extended over the entire weekend! Enjoy live music, traditional rides, and a charming Victorian atmosphere.

Music lovers, mark your calendars for this Saturday's Trinity Rebooted Festival. It's set to fill Hull city centre with a variety of live music performances.

Adding to the festive cheer, Hull Truck Theatre kicks off its Christmas show, 'Pinocchio,' this Friday. Perfect for a family night out!

As for other events, Russell Howard will perform at Connexin Live on the 25th and 26th, promising a comedic treat. For more humour, the Kingswood Laughs Comedy Night at Rise and Grind Bistro combines stand-up comedy with delicious dining, and MKM Stadium's Christmas Party Nights bring even more festive cheer, perfect for starting the holiday season with friends and family!

There's tons more, so check out this week's events roundup article below for all the rest!

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