A 'HIDDEN' Wetherspoons is unlike any other in the UK - with sport on the TVs and no sticky carpets.

The Sanctuary, in Hull, has become a favourite for locals as it is one of the few Wetherspoons where punters can watch sports on TV.

The pub joined the Wetherspoons chain just two years ago and is located on the University of Hull campus.

However, you don't need to study or work at the uni to enjoy a pint in this pub.

Unlike the two other popular Wetherspoons' in the city, the Sanctuary offers punters a different experience with sporting fixtures on the TV and daily events such as quiz nights.

When Tim Martin started the popular pub chain he prohibited music and sport from most of his venues.

Only in 2021 during the Euros, the rules were relaxed so England supporters could cheer on the Three Lions.

Currently, Wetherspoons venues across the UK show sporting events on mute, at the manager's discretion.

At the Sanctuary punters can expect to watch all types of sports from Formula 1 to heavyweight title fights.

Most Spoons pubs up and down the country have their infamous carpets which punters love to discuss.

There is even a book about them which documents their patterns and sees if any two venues have the same carpets.

Yet, at the Sanctuary they opted for a wooden floor which is perfect for their late-night activities.

Unlike other Wetherspoons' in the UK, this pub hosts late-night games sessions as well as a pool table and dart board to keep punters happy.

Being on a University campus, the majority of customers are students trying to enjoy their night on a budget.

However, the Sanctuary welcomes anyone looking for a bite and drink - or even a quiz on a Sunday.
