A month of fantastic events that highlight Plymouth’s unique history and heritage www.plymhistoryfest.wordpress.com A celebration of the past

It’s a great honour to be penning the It’s a real achievement for a city to create foreword for Plymouth’s third annual such an extensive programme that caters History Festival. I’m very proud of the for so many ages and interests. success of the previous two years and of what will, no doubt, be achieved this I hope you enjoy this year’s Festival and year too. make the most of the many opportunities it offers to explore Plymouth’s unique Since we ﬁrst launched the Festival history and heritage. in 2013, I’ve been astounded by the variety of the programme as well as Nicola Moyle the number of events it’s inspired Head of Arts and Heritage, local organisations, venues and Plymouth City Council societies to organise.

This year is no exception with a packed timetable ﬁlled with exhibitions and displays, talks and presentations, walks, tours, activities for families, special events and open days.

As you will see when you look through this brochure or at the Festival website, which includes even more information about what’s taking place, this year also features a Food, Drink, Music and Performance category, as well as an increased presence for photography and the visual arts and a brand new Ale Trail.

One of the things I’m most proud of is the fact that the Festival takes in so many different locations across Plymouth. From the city centre to the waterfront to the suburbs; and from museums, galleries and libraries to guildhalls, church halls and community halls.

With the History Festival in its third year and our multi-million pound History Centre project on the horizon it’s an exciting time for heritage here in Plymouth.

Our vision is to create a world class visitor attraction that will bring together the city’s most valued historic and archival collections.

Our ambition is to transform the current Museum and Art Gallery, Central Library and St Luke’s Church buildings into a place where people can get involved, discover and engage with the many thousands of artworks, objects , documents and images that we care for.

The History Festival has already helped to demonstrate just how much of an appetite there is for this.

In the same way, our history centre project will take pride in uncovering and re-interpreting the stories of Plymouth and its people.

There’s never been a better time to celebrate the city’s past - and acknowledge the vital role that it also has to play in our future.
