Hull is a city that continues to surprise first time
visitors. Whilst still retaining its unique character and
friendly welcome, this historic maritime city has
undergone a dramatic transformation over the last few
years, now offering a vibrant waterfront setting for a
broad spectrum of conferences, meetings and other
events.
The development of a stunning Marina, right in the heart of
the city, kick started a programme of dockland regeneration.
Projects have included the completion of an architecturally
stunning, modern shopping centre, set on stilts above the
waters of a former city centre dock as well as Sir Terry
Farrell’s iconic structure, The Deep, an award winning
£45 million visitor attraction.
Other developments include a magnificent 25,000 seater
stadium, home to two of the city’s major sporting clubs, Hull
City and Hull FC, and host to major pop concerts and
international sporting events. Work is currently underway on
the £160 million, 40 acre, St. Stephen's project. Due for
completion in 2007 the development will combine a new,
state of the art integrated transport interchange along with a
retail, leisure and residential complex and a new home for
the world renowned Hull Truck Theatre. |
