My tips for visiting Hull Visiting the brilliant city of Hull is the best feeling ever, so I hope you enjoy Hull as much as I do! WHAT IS HULL? By Holly Davidson & Bethany Jefferson We think Hull is better now than it ever has been. Hull has lots of new places including clothes and shoe shops. All the schools look wonderful with all the new play areas and things to sit on. Hull fair is brilliant and fantastic for young children and adults as well. Adult rides are extremely scary, however on some rides children can go on them with parents. For small children the rides are really fun and they aren’t scary. Also at Hull fair you can buy food, drinks and play games like hook a duck! In Hull, the Toy Shop is a great place for children to go because there are lots of great toys. However, it may be expensive and you may only be allowed toys as a treat. Swimming is good for you because it keeps you fit and keeps children healthy and happy. At some of the swimming pools in Hull such as Woodford, there are slides that are great fun for children. The Woodford leisure Centre is an amazing place for children. The cinema is good for a day out and there are films for everyone. Furthermore the films that are out now are: The Smurfs 2, Despicable Me 2, Monsters University, Grown Ups 2 and a lot more. These films are outstanding! Bowling is also good for a day out! Therefore, we would recommend going there - although we don’t go often. 06 Malet Lambert Summer School 2013 Magazine HULL’S THE BEST By Ben Brown and Lillie-Mai Green The Deep The Deep is one of the most spectacular aquariums in the world and is home to a whopping 3,500 fish. The Deep also has Europe’s only pair of green sawfish, spectacular sharks and rays. The Deep is a 5 minute walk from Hull Marina and is close to the City Centre.

The Deep is an environmental and conservation charity dedicated to increasing the knowledge and understanding of the world’s oceans. Hull Fair This carnival of merriment is the largest travelling funfair in Europe and one of the oldest. Local tradition states that the changing of the calendar in 1751 led the locals to believe the loss of eleven days affected their fair. “Give us back our eleven days,” was the cry as an enraged mob charged around the streets of Hull, calling for the return of their eleven day festivities which they believed to have been lost due to the calendar change. The outraged masses got their wish and from that year onwards 11th October, or the Friday nearest to it, became the official date for Hull Fair. KC Stadium The KC Stadium, or KC, is a multi-purpose stadium that cost approximately £44 million to build! It’s called the KC as Kingston Communications sponsor the stadium name.
