BE PART OF SOMETHING SPECIAL THIS SPRING!
‘Our City’ is coming….Saturday 14th March 2026, Hull City Centre.
This community-led spectacular will be a huge celebration of local identity, made with and for the people of Hull.
It celebrates our location by the water – the idea of waves of activity moving from neighbourhood to neighbourhood, connecting communities and building into a magical city centre event.
Our City will include two fun-filled processions: one in the daytime, one at night. Both will travel through the city centre, creating a carnival atmosphere on the streets, before arriving in Queen Victoria Square for more celebrations. And we want YOU to be part of it!
Whether you participate as an individual or as part of a group (friends, family, neighbours, sports club, youth club, dance group etc), we’d love you to get involved!
Read on to find out how.
Four captivating show globes. Which is your favourite?
Both our daytime and our night-time processions will feature four captivating show globes. Each show globe is themed, shaping four different parts of each procession – and participants get to choose which theme they are part of.
Within each theme, we will be telling stories of Hull’s communities and history.
Here’s a rundown of each one:
Enchanted Flower Globe– a magical world filled with butterflies, charm and wonder.
Living Snow Globe – a winter wonderland, set to bring joy whatever the weather!
Mystic Mirror Globe – playful, while offering us the chance to think deeper about how we see ourselves.
Sea Sphere – a mystical mermaid, conjuring up dreams of the seas.
Timings
Our two processions will wind through the new town, the old town and Queen Victoria Square on an accesible route:
Our Tides – 12pm – Daytime walking procession of approx 60 min starting and finishing in QVS
Our Tides of Light – 6.30pm – Evening walking procession of approx 30-40 min starting and finishing in QVS where it will ignite an evening show that will run for approx 45 mins.
