Heroes & Heroines of Hull
In celebration of Hull’s impending status as City of Culture, we are going to take you on a journey through the city’s past depicted in dance.
It will take you from the high seas to the skies, from the boxing ring to the football pitch and you will witness the horror of the slave trade of the 18th Century.
We celebrate the work of the shipbuilders of Hull, Sir William Wilberforce, Amy Johnson CBE, Luke Campbell MBE and the mighty Hull City AFC.
The dance will be performed by some of our Year 5/6 pupils. Sit back and enjoy!
