Plus so many more artists and DJs.
Freedom Festival 2023
Freedom Festival is Hull’s long-running arts festival that has flooded the city with entertaining and thought-provoking arts and culture for 16 years. The festival is known for bringing the best cultural offerings locally, nationally and even internationally. Hull’s Freedom Festival is named after the city’s huge association with the abolition of the slave trade and in recent years has become a huge part of the city’s LGBTQ+ community.
The festival is a huge part of Hull with over 100,000 people attending most years. This year is set to be no different with the festival taking place from the 30th of August to the 3rd of September.
If you’re looking for a hotel to stay at during Humber Street Sesh and Freedom Festival, Hideout Hotel is the perfect place, located just minutes away from both events.
