"Hull Minster is a Magnificent building among the old building. We walked past this building for three years and had never been inside. I saw they had an exhibition and event on Facebook; furthermore, I know it played a crucial role in WW2. Today, 14/2/23, we walked past it again then I decided to go in. They have a new cafe attached to the church it looks nice. It is free entry, but you can donate if you wish. They have a small souvenir shop at the corner where you can buy various things such as books, toys or jewellery etc. It is gorgeous architecture, nice and bright. I like the big colourful mosaic window, which shows Jesus’s story and the art of the ceilings. I’m Buddhist, but I appreciate this building. I will be back for the event if I can manage it. P.S. It locates next to the Trinity market, so you can find something to eat quickly."
"What a mess, when we visited they had taken all of the pews away to make way for some vinyl event. It completely ruined our experience of wanting to see a historical attraction of Hull. It's also a place of worship, we felt no peace here with modern day pop blasting through the abbey. Massively disappointed."
"A magnificent example of the perpendicular gothic style architecture. Built around the 1280s, it is the largest parish church in England by floor area. Several million pounds has been spent on the minster over the last few years, cleaning the stonework inside & out, essential repairs, a brand new cafe/ tearoom is now connected to the church, but, still, work goes on. Despite Hull being the most bombed city during the 2nd WW, the minster was left unscathed as the Luftwaffe used it as a navigation point when on mission to bomb cities such as Liverpool. Volunteers are on hand & are extremely helpful & knowledgeable. Tower tours are available, (Check online or upon your visit), there is also a small shop. Note' entry is free, but, donations are very welcome. I recommend a visit to this stunning building when visiting Hull."
"Not only spiritual but a beautiful church. My grandson and I have a marvellous time on the archeology day, not only interesting but activities for children amazing. So much history to see"
"Apparently this is a largest parish church in England. When speaking to one the keepers in the church, it was holding Guinness world record. The church is big and free to enter. I personally liked visiting the church as you could feel holy presence. Services are being run regularly, so it’s not just tourist attraction."
