In May 2025, the Maritime Britain team hosted an exhibition of our project at Hanger Farm Arts Centre. This event was underpinned by a series of talks by Professor Craig Lambert, Dr John McAleer and Dr Cheryl Butler. The Armada Chronicle film, in association with Sarah Siddons Theatre Company, also premiered at this event.

Southampton Walking Tours

Thanks to our friends and project partners at the Sarah Siddons Fan Club Theatre Group – and to Dr Cheryl Butler, in particular – for producing three wonderful guided walks of our hometown. The walks relate the major themes explored in the project – trade, empire, shipping and maritime communities – to the physical geography and built heritage of Southampton. Each walk covers approximately one hundred years of history, and their respective routes take about ninety minutes to cover.
