This is the fourth season of Heads Up Festival. At previous festivals productions have taken place in a variety of venues, from circus tents to open fields and village halls. We are delighted that this season we are able to present work at Kardomah94, Hull Truck and within the inspirational surroundings of Hull Central Library. Our ‘festival hub’ is arts space Kardomah94 - a great place to eat, drink, have conversations and enjoy performances.
