21 Fun Things To Do in Hull for Adults

The Yorkshire city of Hull has a lot to offer adults looking for a fun day (or night) out.  We've chosen 21 of our favourite fun activities in Hull that we think grown-ups will enjoy:

Hotham's Gin School and Distillery

When you arrive, you'll be greeted with a delicious Hotham's Gin & Tonic before meeting the rest of the group in the distilling room.

Then smell and taste the full range of botanicals before choosing your favourites for your own gin. You'll get advice from an expert distiller.

Enjoy a gin cocktail as you learn about the distilling process and taste your gin as it distills.

You'll get a masterclass all about gin, and the opportunity to try the different Hothams products.

Then it's time to bottle and label your very own gin, ready to take home with you.

Hothams Gin School has twice been voted Visitor Experience of the Year in the White Rose Awards, so if you love gin, you won't want to miss it!

And if gin's not your thing, Hotham's has a Rum School too.
