City welcomes return of children's free festival

Zebfest will be held at Zebedee's Yard in Hull

A free festival for young people will return to Hull for its third year.

Zebfest will feature live music, a silent disco, pizza-making and a clothes swap, as well as a variety of food options.

Children aged 11 to 16 will be able to attend the event, which takes place later in Zebedee's Yard from 14:30 until 18:30 BST.

Councillor Linda Tock said the festival always had a brilliant atmosphere and described it as a "great way for young people to start summer".

Tock added: "It really is a taste of festival fun they can enjoy without parents or younger children."

The event is part of the city's Healthy Holidays programme, funded by the Department for Education, which provides free activities throughout the summer.

Among the activities are sculpture murals, creative hair tutorials, futsal and karting sessions.
