We want you to be part of it so if you want to be in the audience for any of the special broadcasts visit bbc.co.uk/5live/octoberfest to obtain audience tickets.

Amongst those broadcasting from the city will be Nicky Campbell, Shelagh Fogarty, Simon Mayo, Mark Kermode, Richard Bacon, Mark Pougatch, Colin Murray, Peter Allen and Anita Anand.

The station will showcase key programmes and offer listeners the chance to be in a series of live studio audience events, many of which will come from the Ferens Art Gallery.

On Thursday 22 October, on 5 Live Breakfast, Nicky Campbell (7.00-10.00am) will celebrate Hull's Premier League status with a special broadcast from Hull City featuring the irrepressible Phil Brown.

Radio 5 Live Controller, Adrian Van Klaveren, said: "Octoberfest is a brilliant opportunity for 5 Live to connect with the people of Hull. We will listen to what people have to say and bring something different and special to 5 Live listeners nationwide. We will be really visible in the city so we want to meet as many people as we can and to hear as many local voices as possible on air."

Queen Victoria Square in Hull's city centre will host the 5 Live Igloo containing interactive features including the slogger cricket game, kids' activities and information on what is planned and how you can be a part of the action and possibly star on the ±«Óãtv Big Screen.

Activities in and around the 5 Live Igloo will include:

Thursday 22 October – Meet the Commentators
Radio 5 Live's commentary team will be meeting the public and giving tips on what it takes to deliver great sport commentary.

And throughout Octoberfest in the Igloo:

Banter Booth – sound off on the story of the day as you give your views on a current issue – the best will be played out on the ±«Óãtv Big Screen, 5 Live's minisite and even on Radio 5 Live.

Listeners will get the chance to try their hand at commentary themselves and take away a disc recording of their efforts.
