Councillor Daren Hale, Leader of Hull City Council, said: “Developed by the Hull Maritime project, this three-week sculpture installation aims to bring some much-needed fun and excitement during the summer holidays.
“This will be the largest city-wide tentacle installation and will again put Hull on the map for all the right reasons.
“This major event in Hull city centre hopes to raise awareness of the Hull Maritime project, the progress to date and more importantly bring people together in a safe way.
“Following a challenging year, we all need to smile again and what better way to do it than to celebrate our maritime heritage with a fantastical imagining of what might be in the deeps of the oceans that generations of Hull mariners sailed upon.”
Luke Egan, Designer and Director at Designs in Air, said: “We’re really excited about this tentacle take-over – our Kraken’s love to explore new cities. But please watch out – like the rest of us they haven’t been allowed out much recently and they do like a cuddle!”
