A Community for Movers,
Shakers, and Creators Join the Community
Village Square brings together developers, product thinkers, founders, designers, and tech enthusiasts across Hull. We're building a community where knowledge is shared, projects take flight, and the local tech ecosystem grows stronger. Everything Tech: From Product to People.
Everything Tech.
From Product to People.
Community First

Across Disciplines
Engineering, product, design, data, startups — we bring every part of the tech ecosystem together.
Open to Everyone
No gatekeeping. Whether you're a senior engineer or just getting started, you belong here.
We're building
for Hull
A build weekend with one brief: make something for Hull. Developers, designers, and founders team up to build for the city, its people, and its services. Date & venue coming soon.
Team Up
Build
Demo
CelebrateCircuit 1.0 proved it.
In April, Hull's tech community turned up for our first flagship meetup — talks, lightning sessions, and a room that stayed loud past closing. It proved what we suspected: the talent is here, and it wants to build together. So next, we're pointing that energy at the city itself.
What our community says
about the Square
“I walked into Circuit 1.0 knowing nobody and left with a group chat, two coffee plans, and a reason to stay in Hull's tech scene.”
“The lightning talks were the highlight for me — short, sharp, and honest. You could tell every speaker actually builds things.”
“Hull finally has a room where tech people actually talk to each other. It didn't feel like an event, it felt like a community.”
“Really well organised. Great energy from start to finish, and the conversations after the talks were worth the trip on their own.”
“As someone still early in my tech journey, I never once felt out of place. People were generous with their time and advice.”
“The room stayed loud long after the last talk ended — that tells you everything. Can't wait for the hackathon.”
“You could feel that something is starting in Hull. Circuit 1.0 was proof there's real talent here that just needed a square to meet in.”
“I came for the talks and stayed for the people. Met designers, founders, and engineers I'd never have crossed paths with otherwise.”
“Circuit 1.0 felt like the start of something. If this is edition one, I'm not missing whatever comes next.”
