Sightseeing
As well as being a venue, its a great place to stop and have a picnic or a sandwich (If you forgot to bring one, pop to nibble cafe and get a 'budda box' or one of their amazing sausage rolls) Its a peaceful spot built inside an old dock on the mouth of the river Hull. It is a great vista for the River, the Humber and the amazing architecture of the Tidal Barrier, the Deep and the C4DI building. It is also on the way to the Humber street area which is fab.

Neighbourhoods
A unique and much loved residential area. take a look on maps at the amount of cafes restaurants bars and 24 hour supermarkets. Its near the university. busses run into town every 5 mins. But far more than convenience. its creative community is amazing. There are artists, djs, writers (look out for blue plaques on houses), academics and so many people doing work for good. You can find grass roots events, festivals and venues. Music venues like the Adelphi- a house converted into one of the best grassroots music venues in the uk. The Avenues community organise creative events like the advent calendar windows at christmas, open gardens, tree carving, regular recycling street events and they recently crowdfunded a restoration Victorian fountain that works..its just beautiful. There are now 3 beautiful victorian fountains. The area does its best to look after people. Its a conservation area with a heart and as a result its not sterile or wrapped in cotton wool, its beautiful and real.
