Mayflower 400 Events

2020 marked 400 years since the Mayflower voyage, which saw the Pilgrims sail to America seeking religious freedom. This was one of the most influential journeys in global history and more than 30 million people can trace their ancestry back to the 102 passengers and 30 crew on board. 

Plymouth was the Pilgrims’ final departure point in the UK and plays a lead role in the Mayflower 400 commemorations. While many events and activities were unfortunately unable to go ahead during 2020 due to the pandemic, others have been rescheduled and will take place this year.
