Celebrating some of the greatest musical works of all time, from classical masterpieces to upbeat pop and rock bangers, magical movie soundtracks to stirring soul melodies, renditions are played by first-rate musicians all the while being surrounded by thousands of flickering candles.
This season, Hull Minster will be flooded by the warm and gentle glow of candlelight, making for the perfect backdrop to enchanting and intimate concerts that will sweep you off your feet.
Hull Minster: the largest parish church in England
Named the Holy Trinity Church until 2017, Hull Minster is a Grade I listed building located in the heart of the city. The church is over 700 years old, so it’s no surprise that it holds a lot of history. William Wilberforce, who had a big role to play in ending the slave trade in England, was actually baptised here in 1759. In 2014, the church was renovated in order to host performances, exhibitions and more, and now welcomes this series of utterly remarkable Candlelight concerts.
