How to get to Hull
We will be posting additional details about accommodation later, but Hull is full of great hotels and Bed and Breakfasts, and your concert experience will be much improved by making a weekend of it.
Hull City Hall is five minutes walk from the train station.
By Air
Flights from across Europe and the UK land at Humberside Airport every day.
Car hire is available at the airport, and the city centre is about a 30 minute drive away over the Humber Bridge.
Stagecoach also operate the Humber Flyer bus service, which takes you directly into Hull from the airport.
There are also flights into Manchester (two hours away) and Leeds/Bradford (1 hour away).
If you fly into any London Airport including Luton, get to Kings Cross, then take a train to Hull (changing at Doncaster if necessary).
Other major train stations with easy routes to Hull include Manchester, Birmingham, Sheffield and Edinburgh (see below for more train information).
By Sea
Possibly our favourite way to travel into Hull, P&O operate ferry links between Hull and Northern Europe.
Daily overnight trips sail from Rotterdam in the Netherlands as well as Zeebrugge in Belgium to Hull Ferry Terminal, taking passengers with cars as well as those on foot.
Taxis from the ferry terminal into the city centre cost about £10, and a regular bus runs into the city from the Northern Gateway roundabout (about a 20 minute walk away from the ferry) costing around £2.50.
By Car
If you’re heading over to us from Liverpool, Manchester or Leeds in the west, just get onto the M62 and keep on going until it turns into the A63. That’ll take you along the north shore of the Humber to our front door.
If you’re coming up from London and the south you can take the A1 and and come off at Newark-on-Trent (or Doncaster if you fancy) then head north east. Taking the A15 east of Scunthorpe will then bring you over the Humber Bridge and into Hull from the south. The Humber Bridge is a toll road, but travelling across it is worth it for the view alone – find out current toll charges.
If you’re driving from Scotland and the north you can head down the A1 before joining the M62 eastbound after Leeds, or come off at York to travel into Hull via beautiful Beverley.
Make sure you check your route on the AA’s route planner before you head off too.
