This is the perfect theatre its not too big the ambience is just right. I've been several times and thoroughly enjoyed each visit, my only criticism is that the ticket prices are quite high and it excludes so many people from being able to go and then when i have gone I've noticed so many empty seats it's a shame if it was more affordable I'd definitely get to go more often and i think it would be the same for many other people in hull who just end up going to the cinema instead because it's so much cheaper.

We enjoy going to Hull Truck and saw several well performed productions during Hull City of Culture 2017. Excellent production last night as usual. We went to see Oliver Twist, reasonably priced and good atmosphere. Convincing acting. More

Brilliant venue in Hull, accessible by bus, train and car. Secure lite car park is located right next door plus you can eat in the building at the cafe bar or at St Stephen next door. Inside the theatre there is not a bad seat in the house. All the seats have plenty of leg room which is great for a tall man like me, plus you can even take your drink in while watching the show. All the shows I have seen have been great with some great plays and stand up comedians. A jewel in the City of Culture crown.

Excellent venue in the heart of Hull. Great friendly service. The Heron theatre is large enough to hold a decent size audience but small enough to feel close to the performance.

When you know the history of Hull Truck, you'll be amazed at the progress its made over the years

Whether your relationship with Hull Truck Theatre ...

Whether your relationship with Hull Truck Theatre is through its stage productions or the many musical acts to be found there, Hull Truck Theatre is a great facility with absorbing events. For me, the twice-yearly batches of Hull Jazz Festival gigs organised with J-Night are a splendid mix and attract some big names. The food and drink are good quality although not cheap, the flyers are not cosy but do the job. The Heron is the main auditorium and is delightful, with the audience wrapping around the stage to each side and comfortable seats with reasonable leg room. The Studio is like a steeply banked lecture theatre and works surprisingly well for a small line up or cast.

Been here previously to see a live band and thoroughly enjoyed it. Went again to see Oliver over Christmas, and again thoroughly that too. Can't beat live theatre for atmosphere It's easy to book tickets and the staff are very pleasant and helpful. Right in the town centre close to bus and train stations and ample parking close by.

Fame - Poor acting and dancing. Performers smelt of bad body odour and strong swearing throughout was totally unnecessary especially when there were a lot of small children in the audience. A really disappointing show which quite frankly should not have been performed at such a high profile venue.

I went today to see Dancing Through the Shadows and I enjoyed every minute of it. I think more plays about Hull and the North always bring in more audiences to Hull truck. Richard Vergette is local and thats what I like, this is why Hull truck became famous good old Northern plays more please

Was comfortable in the well designed seats with plenty of leg room. Staff helpful and the air conditioning a Godsend on this hot day. Had some delicious soup before the show but I do think there should be healthy food options available, there were no salads or jackets available, mainly sausages and burgers. Was impressed however that gluten free options were available on all dishes.
