Love taking pictures?

Then this fun trail is for you! 

What’s it all about?
Hull was recently voted one of the top 10 places to live by the Sunday Times and with very good reason! Our amazing city has got it all – the old and historic, the new and modern and everything in between.

In celebration of Hull being one of the coolest places to live, this summer we want to see your favourite parts of the city centre. Using a smartphone or digital camera, your challenge (should you choose to accept it) is to explore our amazing city and take lots of pictures as you go.

After the summer holidays in September we’re planning to hold an exhibition of some of the pictures taken during the challenge. So if you get involved your image of Hull could be part of this for everyone to see and enjoy! Don’t worry if your picture doesn’t get chosen, any image submitted to the challenge will feature in our online gallery. 

The challenge is open to all ages and capabilities – so even if you’ve never taken a picture before you can have a go!

We can’t wait to see your pictures of Hull

In collaboration with
