2020 marks the 400th anniversary of the sailing of the Mayflower, which saw the passengers and crew sail to America seeking a new life and opportunities. 

The Mayflower voyage is one of the most influential journeys in global history and a defining moment in the shared history of Britain, the US, the Netherlands and the Wampanoag - more than 30 million people can trace their ancestry back to the passengers and crew on board.

Plymouth was the Mayflower’s final departure point in the UK, and as the lead city for the commemorative year, we've got an incredible line up of activities, events and experiences for you to discover.

Find out more about the events taking place this year, discover more about the Mayflower story or learn more about the commemorations taking place in the UK and across the world on the Mayflower 400 website.

* Most of our 2020 events and activities have been rescheduled for 2021 due to COVID-19. Please refer to the events page to find out more.
