Hull has been a place for people to come and pass through for as long as it has been a port. But what makes it special is that so many people from other cultures and countries find home here.


The Polish community in Hull is one of the oldest and most vibrant our city has – the community has two Polish Schools, The Irena Sendler Polish School, and St Mary’s Polish School, as well as an honorary Polish Consulate at Hull University, University students and several community groups across the city.


This exhibition is a celebration of the Polish Community within Hull and with the help of both schools and members of the community, Hull Museums have been able to share a bit of Polish culture and follow their celebrations throughout the year.


Come and explore the Polish traditions, food, dress, and lifestyle that enrich Hull’s cultural landscape and highlight some of the local legends with Polish heritage.
