Plans have been unveiled to build a conference centre, a concert hall and a 150-bedroom four-star hotel in Hull. The £42million scheme is earmarked for derelict land between the Princes Quay shopping centre and Castle Street in the centre of Hull
The conference centre would be capable of hosting a wide range of events, from exhibitions to music concerts and trade shows.
It is unlikely that the complex will be complete by 2017 when Hull becomes the UK City of Culture. Rather it is being seen as a potential legacy project.
