New Cultural Hub for Middle Child Theatre

Thanks to Hull City Council’s City Centre Grant scheme, Middle Child Theatre is set to enhance its Humber Street premises. The funding will help create a new cultural, community, and commercial hub featuring upgraded facilities, including a customized seating bank and improved heating and air conditioning systems. This initiative is expected to enrich Hull's cultural landscape and support local arts.

Free Child Car Seat Safety Events

In an effort to improve child safety, Hull City Council has partnered with Safer Roads Humber and other organizations to conduct a series of free child car seat safety events throughout the year. Starting this month, families can attend any of the eight scheduled events across Hull, where experts will provide checks and advice on proper car seat installation. These initiatives aim to ensure that every child’s car seat is correctly fitted and safe for use.
