About

To mark Vaisakhi (the Sikh New Year), Hull History Centre welcomes Guljar Singh Gola for a special event honouring the life of his late father, Sewa Singh Gola (1938-2024).

Guljar will reflect on his father’s journey from pre-Partition India to Hull, where he became one of the co-founders of the city’s first gurdwara. As one of the early Sikh pioneers in Hull, Sewa Singh remained steadfast in his faith through hardship, dedicating his life to seva (selfless service), community, and the preservation of Sikh traditions for future generations.

The event will include religious singing, and langar (refreshments) will be served by the family.

All are warmly invited to attend and learn more about a life devoted to faith, resilience and community.

Saturday 4 April, 1-3pm

Tickets are free but must be booked in advance by emailing hullhistorycentre@hcandl.co.uk or calling 01482 317500 during our opening times.
