WHAT’S ON
The main programme of Amy Johnson Festival is now over, ending on 30 September with the unveiling by Maureen Lipman of the new bronze statue of Amy. Modelled and cast by sculptor Stephen Melton, the statue stands proudly on a new greenspace near Bramshaw Street, off Hawthorn Avenue, Hull. Our public art project, A Moth for Amy, continues until the Moths alight from their current locations in preparation for April 2017’s Big Moth Charity Auction.
