UPCOMING EVENTS
The Maroon Mile project, which is generously funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, will involve a wide range of exciting events and activities. The mile-long heritage trail will be the main component of the project, but we will also be undertaking an array of outreach and engagement activities which will help to shape and design the trail. All upcoming events and activities will be posted below. If you would like to find out how to get involved, including volunteer opportunities please click here.

In April 2024, we held our first workshop to start to create a digital timeline as part of the Maroon Mile Project. The workshop was created in collaboration with the Stellar Omada, HMFC’s Heritage Department and HMFC’s Innovation Centre. You can watch a short video about it below.
