Background

St Stephen's forms part of a 15-year, £2 billion city centre master plan, which once complete will rejuvenate six geographical areas, including three prime waterfront sites containing a mix of corporate headquarters, restaurants, attractions, boutique hotels, luxury apartments and Hull's own World Trade Centre. In 2011, the owner of St Stephen's, British Land, launched its first Community Charter making ten commitments to the local area. A new 440-seat theatre has been completed for Hull Truck Theatre as part of the development. Another part of the development is the Albemarle Music Centre, which was built at the expense of £3 million for the Hull Music Service as a centre where its youth orchestras, ensembles and bands can rehearse and practice, as well as being a new venue for other events and concerts. In March 2018 the full-size model of the Gipsy Moth aircraft used by Amy Johnson to fly solo from Britain to Australia, created over a six-month period by inmates of Hull Prison, was moved from the adjacent Hull Paragon Interchange to the centre.
