Hull New Theatre

Hull New Theatre is a receiving venue attracting international touring companies and delivering the best large-scale productions in the world of entertainment. A £16m refurbishment project was completed in 2017 allowing the theatre to stage spectacular dance productions in a wide variety of styles including ballet, commercial and contemporary dance. Hull New Theatre hosts regular visits from Northern Ballet, Matthew Bourne & Raymond Gubbay’s traditional ballet. Recently, the venue has launched a partnership with McNicol Ballet Collective to be an associate dance company and is a proud member of the Dance Consortium. The revamped venue features improved access facilities, ensuring the theatre is an inclusive place for everyone to enjoy. The revamp includes a level entrance and accessible foyer, an increased number of wheelchair spaces in the stalls, dedicated changing places, toilets and lifts providing access to various floors. It also boasts new flexible performance spaces allowing us to give a voice to emerging talent and to work more closely with world-class artistic partners.

Hull Truck Theatre

Hull Truck Theatre

Hull Truck Theatre is a pioneering theatre space with a unique northern voice, locally rooted, global in outlook, inspiring artists, audiences and communities to reach their greatest potential. Our core values are inclusion, innovation and integrity.

We’re open to all genres/styles of dance. In the past, we have typically programmed circus and contemporary dance - usually as part of city-wide programmes like Freedom Festival. We believe movement and dance can deepen an audience's connection and enjoyment of a work.

We produce/present inspiring work reflecting the diversity of modern Britain, provide resources, spaces and support to grow people and ideas. Without our supportive audiences, generous funders, talented artists, passionate participants and dedicated staff, we wouldn’t have kept our place at the heart of Hull’s creative core for half a century.

Through working with schools and local communities we engage thousands of young people, disabled groups and adults, offering opportunities to participate in the arts, whether the first step into a career, a way to build confidence and meet people, or part of a rounded education. Our ground-breaking Community Dialogues programme builds on long-term partnerships within Hull’s local communities, addressing inequalities in accessing the arts.
