Plans for Hull's three major venues go on display

The Ferens Art Gallery in Hull will host the Turner Prize in 2017

Plans to revamp three entertainment and leisure facilities in Hull are to go on show later.

People are being asked for their views on proposals to redevelop the Ferens Art Gallery, Hull New Theatre and Woodford Leisure Centre.

The gallery will get a £4.5m facelift ahead of it hosting the Turner Prize in Hull's City of Culture year in 2017.

Other proposals include a new front of house and café bars for the theatre and a new 25m pool for the sports centre.

Detailed plans for the Ferens and New Theatre will be displayed inside a bus that will be parked in Queen Victoria Square from 10:00 to 16:00 BST. They will also go on show at each of the three venues from Monday.

Under the proposals, the gallery would receive a major overhaul of its existing lighting and temperature control systems, as well as a new café and lobby area, the council said.

The theatre's backstage areas would be improved "to bring in bigger, more ambitious shows", while the leisure centre would get a learner pool, new sauna and steam facilities and a café.

Comments from the public will be included in a planning application, which is expected to be submitted next month, the council added.
