This FREE entertainment will take place throughout the day and include a performance from Hull's latest singing sensation, EMMA RUGG, performance poetry from THE UPSIDE DOWN SHOW, a display of exciting artwork from local artists and much, much more. To top it off, free food will be provided in the foyer area.

With so much to see and take part in, this day is a must for aspiring writers and theatre lovers alike.
Previous nights have led to "standing-room only" so you are urged to arrive early. And heckle at your peril…

Hull in Fiction: Christopher Peachment & Will Davenport

Poetry Is This Place Freedom?
|
|
By Nicholas Boldock
The roads stretch out ahead of me
To which town will they lead?
And will there be a lady there
With dark brown eyes and long blonde hair
