22 - 23 August 2014

Take a step back in time at Southampton Maritime Festival as it commemorates the wartime and maritime history of the South.

During this two-day event many historic ships and vessels will be making their way into dock to join the festival. These include the national historic fleet’s HMS Medusa, ST Challenge, SS Shieldhall and many more. You can learn about each vessel’s role in the world wars, see heritage divers and experience Southampton’s wider wartime history.

On land you can also take in a large number of attractions and demonstrations over the course of two days. The quayside will be packed with exhibits including historic cars, classic steam vehicles and heritage trams, whilst Southampton’s Ocean Cruise Terminal will house indoor heritage displays, art exhibits, craft fairs and traders.

With over 12,000 visitors last year, the event really is a highlight of the summer calendar!

This charity heritage event is organised by the Southampton Heritage Federation spearheaded by the Maritime Archaeology Trust.
