British space scientist and science educator Dame Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock, Team GB Olympian Grant Hardie and British Ice Dancing great Christopher Dean are among the inspiring line-up of scientists, stars and entertainers visiting Hull.

ColliderFest is Hull’s annual festival, celebrating science, technology and art. The weekend invites families and young people to enjoy interactive exhibits, hands on workshops, creative challenges and live performances, while evening events feature content for older audiences.

With a great mix of walk-up, free and bookable events, there is so much to see and do!

The event, produced in partnership between the University of Hull, Hull City Council and Hull Museums, will turn the city in to a centre for science, creativity and culture as the celebration of all things STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and maths) returns.

Blood Brothers

Hull New Theatre

March 31-April 4

£15-£56.50

Written by Willy Russell, the legendary Blood Brothers tells the captivating and moving tale of twins who, separated at birth, grow up on opposite sides of the tracks, only to meet again with fateful consequences.

Few musicals have received quite such acclaim as the multi-award-winning Blood Brothers. The production ran for more than 10,000 performances in London’s West End, one of only five musicals ever to achieve that milestone.

It has been affectionately christened the ‘Standing Ovation Musical’, as inevitably it “brings the audience cheering to its feet and roaring its approval” (The Daily Mail).

The superb score includes Bright New Day, Marilyn Monroe and the emotionally charged hit Tell Me It’s Not True.

“Exhilarating… one of the best musicals ever written.” – The Sunday Times

“A triumphant evening… unmissable and unbeatable” – The Spectator

“Bring the audience cheering to its feet and roaring its approval” – The Daily Mail

★★★★★ “Dazzling” – The Sunday Telegraph

★★★★★ “Terrific” – Sunday Express

“Gritty, gripping, superb” – Mail on Sunday
