COTTINGHAM – The Cottingham Local History Society is wrapping up its season with a fascinating talk on Hull’s theatrical past. On Wednesday, 5th March, local historian Michelle Beadle will take the audience on a journey through the history of Hull’s Repertory Company and the early years of the New Theatre. The talk will be held at Cottingham Civic Hall, starting at 7:45 pm and running until around 9:00 pm.
This final lecture of the season is open to all, with entry priced at £2 for Society members and £4 for non-members. The Society’s April gathering is reserved for members only, as it will be a social event and AGM.
Founded to preserve and share local history, the Cottingham Local History Society has a strong reputation for engaging talks, insightful research, and a welcoming community. Each season, it brings together history enthusiasts and curious locals to explore different aspects of the region’s past.
This upcoming talk promises to be a must-attend event for theatre lovers and history buffs alike. Hull’s Repertory Company was a cornerstone of the city’s cultural scene, paving the way for the New Theatre, which remains a key venue in East Yorkshire’s arts landscape.
