Hidden Histories is back this October

Posted: 03/10/2022

The popular Hidden Histories Trail returns this October as part of our Black History Month programme, and you’re invited to join us on this fascinating walking tour through Southampton.

Taking place throughout October, the Hidden Histories Trail will take participants on an eye-opening walking tour throughout Southampton’s Old Town, providing the opportunity to learn unearthed and unspoken stories of the city’s diverse history spanning over 400 years.

The trail is led by a team of friendly and engaging volunteer guides who have all undergone intensive training as part of the Hidden Histories programme and developed their own research projects exploring the city’s Black History to inform their knowledge and understanding as guides.    

The Hidden Histories Trail will take place on Saturday morning’s throughout October and will start and finish at God’s House Tower. The tour costs £5 per person and the proceeds from ticket sales will go towards continuing ‘a space’ arts work to research, learn and share the diverse history of Southampton in new and creative ways.

Trail dates: Saturday 8th October 11am – 12.30pm, Saturday 15th October 11am – 12.30pm, Saturday 22nd October 11am – 12.30pm, Saturday 29th October 11am – 12.30pm.
