Curiosity Corner

Ever wanted to learn a new skill? Or hone an existing one?

Ever wondered what something is like but never had a chance to try? Curiosity is here to help.

At Humber Street Sesh this year, we’ll be parked up in Curiosity Corner, offering classes in art, crafts, sport and all manner of wonderful creative, fulfilling pastimes. Using experts drawn from Hull, you can participate in hour-long classes in things like chess, drawing and yoga.

Take a break from the music all around you at the festival to have a go at something new. It’s all free, and there’s no need to book. You can turn up or register a place for later in the day with our team in Curiosity Corner.

Even if you just want to watch what’s going on, you’re more than welcome. You’ll find us at Humber Street Sesh on the concourse right above Oss Wash.
