Hull Trains are thrilled to reveal that they are an official partner of Pride in Hull which is set to take place on Saturday the 30th of July in Queen's Gardens. The 2019 event, which Hull Trains also supported saw more than 50,000 people join in with the day-long LGBTQ+ celebration with thousands more people lining the streets to enjoy the parade.
The 2022 event anticipates similar crowd numbers as it makes its return following the pandemic.
As a sponsor, Hull Trains company logo will be able to be spotted around the festival site.
Saturday the 13th of August will also see Humber Street Sesh which Hull Trains are also delighted to be involved with and will be sponsoring the Dead Bod Stage which represents Hull's fishing heritage.
Mark Page, Founder and Artistic Director of Humber Street Sesh, said: “We are thankful and proud to be supported by Hull Trains since 2019 with their continued sponsorship of our iconic, solar-powered Dead Bod stage which hosts an eclectic mix of Hull's favourite bands. Their support has been invaluable to Humber Street Sesh and our mission to give a platform to the brilliant artists in the city and beyond”
David Gibson, Managing Director, added: “Both events deserve our support, as they aim to bring local communities together whilst attracting people from far and wide to come and see everything the city of Hull has to offer. I am sure everyone attending both events will have a fantastic time and we wish them and the organisers all the very best.”
Taking place on the east side of the Marina, Humber Street Sesh will also see a free fringe area which encompasses Humber Street and Stage@thedock which will be hosting some of the events through the day. The fringe area will provide the Marina business to operate, as usual, reducing the impact of the event on locals residents.
