I attended last years with the wife and we were given a guided tour of Blaydes House which was fantastic, informative and quite amusing. The staircase and window is a sight that every Hull dweller must see at some point
Another venue we visited was the Neptune Inn, a place I had researched as Hull born Ripper suspect, Robert D’Onston Stephenson had worked there. It was a lovely building with one of the finest ceiling displays I have ever seen.
We also visited St Mary’s church on Lowgate, which must have been undergoing some work as ladders and trestles stood in every corner.
