Mayflower 400 Events
2020 is the 400th anniversary of 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. We’re hosting a year-long programme of events, showcasing the very best in English heritage, culture and legacy.
You can expect spectacular events, unique festivals and quirky cultural experiences, making Britain’s Ocean City the place to be during 2020.
More events will be added here in the run up to the commemorations, so keep checking back.
