Friday 30th and the Gilmour’s set out into Hull City Centre for the Urban Legends: Northern Lights. It’s only on until the 2nd December and so we thought going on a Friday may be quieter, especially with three children to walk around and get good views.
A FREE event to enjoy on an autumn evening.
We started at the Hull Minster which was indoors and a mesh like screen which made the display look 3D, I have shared some of the footage in the video if you keep scrolling down. It was fascinating but our three year old found it scary and we didn’t stay long, there is also a one way system which you don’t realise until you try and get out. It wasn’t a good start to our evening but we persevered and it was worth it.
An interactive walkway proved popular for our three children and it was rather impressive as you walked almost the whole length of Parliament Street. Rob and I rather enjoyed it as well, the sound effects and change in the walkway, it was a beautiful and colourful display.
A teepee in the Queens Gardens with a projection from the inside out and I was delighted to see a signer for the hearing impaired.
A colourful pattern display in King Edwards Square was again lovely to watch but our favourite has got to be…
Oh the night!
We were very excited to see a fox feature in the story and the older children were able to follow the wording of the story. An amazing choir that brought it to life even more and lasting around 15 minutes. Check out the video below.
We didn’t however take advantage of the 3 shop windows on Whitefriargate due to having the pram for our youngest and not wanting to fight the crowd. If you get a chance to go and you have children, try and get there earlier in the day and check out Whitefriargate first, considering to not take a pram may be the best option for viewing on this area.
Enjoy…
