Snug and cosy in the centre of town, never particularly overcrowded, almost all units are open which is nice to see. Staff everywhere are polite and welcoming. The Post Office in the WHSmith is very useful and convenient. It's suffered in recent years from macroeconomic problems, with the food court upstairs being completely shut off which is a massive shame as it was a unique feature a great place to hang out. The area around Cex has the most empty units, with Game leaving a very visible location to hide up above Sports Direct, the Hull City store moving out, and a prominent jewellers closing down on one of the corners near the centre. Both Wilko and WHSmith have closed their entrances leading into the streets outside - maybe this was a precaution during COVID but it was a nice convenience to have them. Biggest opportunity seems to be the units facing onto Brooks Street. Sometimes it looks like there's activity for a new store to be in them but they're mostly unused. One looks to be an art space and it would be brilliant to develop this into a proper communal facility open to the public themed around making art and being creative. It would be a great place to hang out and showcase talent, turn it into another unique community for Hull to grow...
Read moreBest Santa I have ever seen, my children are all grown up , so I visit with the grandchildren. Value for money £4 per child or £10 for 3 children. He gave all the time in the world to the children. They were not rushed during their visit. He spoke about toys, pets, films, holidays even saying when he and mrs Claus last had their holiday. He has family photos up the grandchildren loved the one of the reindeer . They learnt all their names and some of the new reindeers names. They learnt why rudolph is at the front what his red moise helps with. The bells on his boot and sleeves made the children smile and they learnt how special they were. There are a few little magical things in the visit especially when he goes in his sack ti get out the gift for the child. My granddaughter loved that little part. You take your own photos of the visit which is another added bonus so no extra cost to buy the photos to remember their...
Read moreHull city centres original shopping arcade which has been overtaken by time and 2 other places more grander and more expansive. Princes Quay and St Stephen's offer more space and more choice for the shoppers. But this place still retains a kind of charm of its own, only one level, there is a food hall on a second level but in today's world I'm not sure how functional it is. The choice of shops is limited but still a varied choice. And again with the retail environment being what it is the Prospect Centre is not the ghost town that many high streets seem to be these days. Toilets are available with the usual facilities for people with babies, sanitiser is available on entry to the centre and cleaning staff are usually available. Guidelines are in place to accommodate the social distancing requirements. Not a jaw dropping shopping experience by any means but a few minutes of your time would not be waisted if you...
