BURTON CONSTABLE HALL REVIEWS
We had the cobwebs and cream tea tour. We started with a self guided tour of the house. Then our very knowledgeable guide took us around the back areas, servants corridors and attics. It was outstanding. You need sensible shoes and knees that can take a lot of stairs! We had upgraded to the full afternoon tea, which was huge and delicious.
Late September midweek visit. Wonderful grounds well maintained and managed. The house has some very interesting features and some particularly fine clocks. The food in the cafe was perfectly cooked/baked and reasonably priced. All the staff and volunteers were very helpful and friendly.
A beautiful building with lots to see an do around the grounds. The cafe serves nice coffee. Was nice to see a Lotus owners club meeting there too. We enjoyed a game of checkers in the hall grounds and a quick play on the park.

HULL CITY HALL REVIEWS
Have visited Hull City Hall on a few occasions and have always enjoyed my visit. Loved the open space with a high ceiling although the chairs aren’t the most comfortable. On one visit, we went to see Kerry Ellis and Louise Dearman perform with an orchestra and they sounded amazing. The staff are always friendly and it’s a great place to see performances!
Just played in the foyer of the hull city hall for their wedding fayre event. The staff are very friendly and helpful and is all round an amazing place. It was a real privilege to play for this wedding event. Last time I played in the Mortimer suite located behind the main stage a little gem of a wedding #venue within a wedding venue.
It was not sign posted very well to get there but the whole place was fantastic .well run with plenty of people to help you the group we saw (10cc) was brilliant so you cannot get groups like this in grimsby .well run .well staffed .a nice place to be.

WILBERFORCE HOUSE MUSEUM REVIEWS
Wilberforce house is a grade one listed former merchants house in High Street backing on to the river Hull. This stunning building is home to the William Wilberforce Museum. A fascinating collection of Artifacts and showing the life of William Wilberforce, one of Hull's most famous sons. There is a lot to see in this museum, the building itself is fascinating and there is a lovely garden backing on to the river. In the pavement outside there are some of the fish and a crab which are part of the hull fish Trail. The museum is free to enter. Highly recommended.
It was a nice and lovely experience to visit the Wilberforce House Museum. It gave an indepth knowledge of what slavery looked like and the pains they suffered. It completely was a free entry. I had a nice time.
I can't wait to see it! I'm the reincarnated William Wilberforce MP, by the grace of my Divine Parents I'll see my history and glory in person.
