Summer of Sherlock presents a variety of events throughout August, from examining scripts, discussing Conan Doyle’s relationship with the Boer War, to learning about poisons and life in Victorian England. More details from the Visit Portsmouth website.
Head to the Portsmouth Historic Dockyard for a variety of events. Help the Mary Rose build a LEGO brick mosaic, one of the largest ever built in Britain. In partnership with Bright Bricks, the UK’s premier independent LEGO brick building company, the Mary Rose wants you to help recreate the famous Cowdray engraving of the Battle of the Solent, featuring the sinking of the Mary Rose.
The Trafalgar Sail is also on display for a limited time in The National Museum of the Royal Navy’s Storehouse 10. Measuring the equivalent of two tennis courts when fully laid out, the sail is 80 feet at its foot, 54 feet at the head and 54 feet deep, covers an area of 3,618 feet. It is a remarkable piece of history and an evocative reminder of the epic battle in 1805 when Vice-Admiral Lord Nelson was killed.
Make sure you go and see the British Tattoo Art exhibition at the Museum of Royal Navy. Take a look at the impressive ‘100 Hands’ project, curated by Alice Snape of Things and Ink magazine, which features 100 silicone arms each tattooed with an original design by top artists from across the UK.
On Wednesday 22 August Stanted Park in Rowlands Castle is staging Robin Hood and His Merry Men, adapted by award winning writer Laura Turner. Doors open at 5.30 pm and the show starts at 7 pm. Adult tickets £16, Child £10, Family (2 adults, 2 children) £46.
We head to the Bank Holiday weekend with the promosie of the wonderful Victorious Festival. Beside music stages and arts and crafts, look out for the New Theatre Royal’s Peter Pan Experience.
Fort Nelson is holding an exhibition of Parliament and the First World War until 30 August. On loan from the Parliamentary Archives, explore documents, paintings and objects which demonstrate the changes in Parliament and parliamentary democracy that happened during the war years, as well as the relationship between Parliament and the war effort. You will find out if much has changed!
Hopefully the weather continues to be glorious so we can enjoy ice-cream and a swim in the sea for the rest of the summer.
