Hull is to benefit from a large-scale advent calendar of images as the church cultural partnership, Believe in Hull, celebrates the month of December.
The “25…Because It’s Christmas” campaign will comprise a series of simple, black and white prints made by Yorkshire-based illustrator Simon Smith, inspired by the Christmas story. They will be accompanied by words from poet Ian Adams. The first building to launch the advent calendar will be Paragon Station, where the unveiling will be supported by a puppet show and carols at 4.30pm on Saturday 1st December.
High-profile public spaces in the city centre and locations on estates across Hull will be the focal points of the Hull 25 advent calendar. The large images will appear in windows or will be prominent at community venues, churches and commercial properties.
