Football fans in Hull and East Yorkshire have a unique opportunity this weekend: to get up close and personal with one of the most iconic trophies in world football. The legendary FA Cup is going on a community tour, bringing a piece of history directly to the local pubs where fans gather.

This Saturday, the famous silverware will be on display at Marston's Hallgate Tavern in Cottingham from 12:00 to 15:00 BST. It will then move to The Apollo on Holderness Road in Hull, where fans can see it from 16:00 to 19:00. It's a rare chance for supporters of all ages to see the trophy that has defined so many magical moments in English football.

For Hull City fans, this visit carries special significance. The Tigers have their own storied history with the competition, most notably their thrilling run to the 2014 final. On that unforgettable day at Wembley, they took a stunning 2-0 lead against Arsenal before eventually succumbing 3-2 in extra time—a match that remains a proud chapter in the club's history.

"Being able to bring such an iconic trophy right into the heart of the village is something we're really excited about," said Ioannis Grammenos, general manager at the Hallgate Tavern. "Whether you're a lifelong football supporter, or a younger fan seeing the FA Cup up close for the first time, it's a brilliant chance to experience a piece of football history."

This community initiative, supported by TNT Sports, is part of a wider tour celebrating the magic of the FA Cup. The trophy has already visited clubs like Port Vale FC and is scheduled to head to Coventry next, sharing the magic of the competition with fans across the country. So, if you're in the area, don't miss this chance to connect with footballing heritage and perhaps dream of your own club's future glory.
