One of Hull’s most treasured attractions has received national recognition, with Streetlife Museum being awarded a prestigious Visit England Welcome Accolade.
The award celebrates attractions that deliver outstanding visitor experiences, recognising teams that go the extra mile to ensure everyone receives a warm, friendly and memorable welcome.
For Hull residents, the accolade will come as little surprise. A much loved fixture in the city’s Museum Quarter, Streetlife Museum has long been a favourite for family days out, school visits and introducing friends and relatives to Hull’s rich history.
The museum is one of only a small number of attractions across England to receive the recognition this year, placing it among the country's leading visitor destinations for customer experience.
Known for its recreated streets, vintage vehicles and interactive displays, Streetlife Museum brings more than 200 years of transport and social history to life. Free to visit, it attracts thousands of visitors each year while remaining an important part of everyday life for local people.
The national accolade not only recognises the dedication of the museum team, but also highlights the strength of Hull’s cultural offer. While visitors travel from across the country to experience the attraction, generations of Hull families have grown up with Streetlife as part of their own story.
The recognition is another boost for Hull’s reputation as a city with culture at its heart and shines a spotlight on a venue that continues to inspire pride among local communities.
Whether it's memories of riding the tram as a child, exploring the cobbled streets for the first time, or sharing a favourite exhibit with the next generation, Streetlife Museum remains one of Hull's most iconic attractions, and now one of the country's most celebrated too.
