The Endsleigh Centre has been at the heart of Hull’s community since 1901. It epitomises the very reason why Hull was chosen to be the City of Culture 2017. It hosts events such as theatre productions, live music, dancing, yoga as well as residential retreats, support groups and conferences. It also provides superb bed and breakfast accommodation.
People from all over the world visit and stay at the Endsleigh Centre, making it a true, cultural, melting point, where life-long friendships are made. Everyone is made to feel very welcome here whatever their beliefs and backgrounds are.
The Endsleigh Centre also continually fundraises for those in need – currently doing so for schools and hospitals for the poor and destitute in Kenya. They also train local people in Peru in the art of making craftwork which is then sold at the Endsleigh Centre.
The Endsleigh Centre is located in a beautiful historical building with extensive gardens which include a memorial that provides sanctuary for grieving parents. Apart from the great building, what’s different about the Endsleigh Centre, and its greatest asset, are those who work there. They go that extra mile to make the accommodation feel like a home from home and to make sure working days go ahead without a hitch during conferences. They really do care about their guests which is not something you can say about many venues.
I have had the great pleasure of regularly staying over at the Endsleigh Centre over the last two years, as well as booking their conference facilities for work. It is this personal experience that has convinced me of the centre’s immense value to the local community! Such a historical site should not be open to potential land “development”! How could any new, possibly faceless, ‘luxury apartments’ compare to this beautiful building?
