Hull City Hall
Hull City Hall is a civic building located in Kingston upon Hull, Yorkshire.
The City Hall does not perform an administrative function for Hull's council, as this is based in the Guildhall.
It is a Grade-II* listed building, built in Baroque Revival style by Hull's City architect Joseph Hirst 1903–09, restored circa 1950 following war damage, and altered in 1986 and 1989.[1][2]
Located in Queen Victoria Square in the city centre, Hull City Hall is home to a grand central hall which plays host to a varied programme of concerts including pop, rock and classical music as well as civic functions such as graduation ceremonies for the University of Hull.[3] The city's main tourist Information office and shop is based on the building's ground floor.[4]
The main hall has a floor, balcony and gallery with total capacity for 1,200 people seated, or up to 1,800 with a mixture of standing on the main floor and seated on the balcony and gallery.[5]
