Time for a Stagecation? Bus company suggests things to see and do in Hull this Summer

· Kier Starmer says that people may need to holiday in the UK this Summer

· Ideas for easy to reach destinations

· Budget friendly options for the whole family

Hull bus operator, Stagecoach East Midlands, has suggested local places to enjoy a great ‘Stagecation’ after outgoing Prime Minister Kier Starmer’s comments that more people may need to holiday in the UK this year.

With the ongoing trouble in Iran disrupting travel across the Middle East and pushing up prices for flights and package deals to European hotspots, Mr Starmer has said that "people might change where they go on holiday this year".

Now Stagecoach has given a range of suggestions for a wonderful and easy to reach day out:

-- The Deep - One of the UK's most spectacular aquariums, home to sharks, rays and thousands of marine creatures; Services 3, 4, 12, 14 or 16

-- Hull Old Town - Explore cobbled streets, historic pubs and the city's rich maritime heritage on a guided walk; any service to Hull Interchange

-- St Stephen's Shopping Centre - Hull's premier shopping destination offers major high-street brands and restaurants; any service to Hull Interchange

-- Kingswood Retail & Leisure Park - A popular out-of-town destination for shopping, bowling, dining and family entertainment; Services 5 or 6

-- Hull Truck Theatre - One of the UK's leading regional theatres, staging acclaimed dramas, comedies and family shows; any service to Hull Interchange

-- Hull Superbowl - Ideal for a fun afternoon of bowling, laser quest and family entertainment; Service 1

-- Humber Bridge - One of the world's most iconic suspension bridges with stunning views across the Humber Estuary; Service 1

-- East Park - Hull's largest park features boating lakes, animal enclosures, historic monuments and beautiful green space; Services 33, 33C and 34

-- Cottingham Village - A charming East Yorkshire village with independent shops, cafés and a traditional village atmosphere; Service 18

Matt Cranwell, Managing Director of Stagecoach East Midlands, said: “We know how precious family time is, especially during the Summer, so we have worked hard to ensure our services are affordable, accessible and ready for adventure. Our services are designed to help families make memories together – comfortably and affordably.”
