Reviews Summary
Zebedee's Yard is a versatile city center location, praised for its convenience as a car park and its transformation into a lively hub for street food and music events. While some past events have faced criticism for organization and crowd management, the venue's potential for vibrant community gatherings is widely recognized.
"For my first visit to Hull, I needed a short stay carpark and decided to try this one. I wasn't disappointed. Satnav straight there, plenty of car spaces (on a Weds lunchtime), well-laid out and maintained, reasonably priced £1 for 1 hour, £2 for 2 and £3 for 3 and with pedestrian access directly onto Whitefriargate. And the machines took cash (for those who prefer an app, this was available). I would fully recommend."

"OCS, EMBRACE AND CAST
worst gig ever been to and left before ocs came on.
Queue to get in took 15 minutes.
The gig is advertised as ‘premium local food and drinks’ available. We went expecting a range of street food stalls but could only see 2 small stalls so decided to get a drink. Ha ha easier said than done. Had to navigate through the multiple bar queues and try to find a short one!!!! 45 minutes later we reached the bar where there was minimal staff - 1 bar staff pulling a pint as the other stood and passed plastic glasses to her.
Found a reasonable space to watch cast and embrace. My partner went for another drink. He came back 50 minutes later after giving up getting to the bar.
Gave up on even thinking about food and didn’t even attempt to go to the toilet.
Left before OCS came on due to the poor experience. Spoke to event organiser as we left who justified the event price/amount of people in venue. He accepted it wasn’t great but any complaints should go directly to Ticketek. I’ve had a brief look but it looks almost impossible to find contact details.
Shocking organisation.
Such a shame as the bands were great but I would estimate half the audience were standing at the bar which couldn’t cope with the volume of sales."
