Your Yorkshire Wedding - March/April 2024 (Issue 65)

HUMBER STREET GALLERY 01482 304 453 | www.absolutelycultured.co.uk Humber Street Gallery is a contemporary art gallery with changing exhibitions in the heart of the marina and Hull Old Town, steeped in the history of the old fruit market. Laid out over three floors it’s gloriously quirky and bursting with urban chic. Based as it is in the old fruit warehouse on Humber Street, there are ample photo opportunities all around thanks to the vibrant graffitied area and beautiful marina views. Ceremonies are held al fresco on the roof surrounded by a spectacular view of the old town and marina, with the register signing taking place in a meeting room. On the roof the venue you can accommodate 60 nearest and dearest in total – 30 seated and 30 standing. This quirky and oh-so cool place to tie the knot also has its own bar. Receptions are hosted in The Café bar space for 100 standing or 30 seated diners. Home to the iconic Dead Bod artwork, it has a bar which boasts a selection of local and regional beers. The space is offered as a no frills, urban-chic style space, which can be decorated prior to your special day in accordance with your vision. The gallery also has two exhibition spaces, which can be hired for extra room and seating for a further 40 loved ones depending on the agreement with the exhibiting artist at the time. Although, the venue isn’t able to cater your wedding due to a very small kitchen space, the team can offer an extensive list of local, independent caterers that can set up in the venue on the day. The evening reception is also in The Café bar space, with seating and tables reorganised to allow optimal dancefloor space in front of Dead Bod. The venue also welcomes live music and DJs to perform beneath its fabulous disco mirror ball. Plus, the great news is, it’s dog friendly! The team are up for anything when it comes to making your dream day a reality and have great ties with independent suppliers in the area. So, whatever your request, they probably know someone to help.
