Free festive afternoon with entertainment and shoebox collections to support Age UK Hull & East Yorkshire's Christmas Shoebox Appeal.
Age UK Hull & East Yorkshire are hosting their Christmas Shoe Box Party at Trinity Market on Saturday 7 November, from 11am to 3pm. It's a festive afternoon built around a simple, kind idea: visitors bring along selection boxes and completed shoeboxes for children to hand to Father Christmas, and those donations help make sure older people across the region feel remembered and valued this Christmas.
The party is part of the charity's Christmas Shoebox Appeal, run by Age UK Hull & East Yorkshire, an independent local charity that's worked with older people, their families and carers across Hull and East Yorkshire for more than 75 years. They've been around since 1949, and their day-to-day work covers befriending, falls prevention, home support and social groups. They also stage the annual Bee Lady Day in memory of Jean Bishop, known as the 'Bee Lady'.

On the day, there's entertainment and festive fun to keep things lively, and more than one surprise visitor may drop by. The whole thing is free to enter, though donations are gratefully received. It's a good one to bring the family along to, especially if you've already got a shoebox ready to go. If you're planning to come, just remember to bring your selection boxes and completed shoeboxes with you to hand over to Father Christmas. It runs from 11am to 3pm at Trinity Market, so you've got plenty of time to drop in whenever suits you best.
