Projects

Our projects create new ways to explore our history and discover some of the most important heritage sites in England.

From Stonehenge in Wiltshire to Berwick Barracks in Northumberland, we are making art, developing new plays, films, soundscapes, and exhibitions all inspired by England’s rich heritage.

We are transforming how we tell England’s stories.

Creating Sanctuary

Drawing from her own experience of loss, Young Producer Sophie designed and delivered sessions inspired by the gardens of Wrest Park to help other young people process their own bereavement.

Reframing Remembrance

Young Producers have been exploring how VE Day and memorials like the Cenotaph shape national identity, questioning whose stories are remembered and what memorials mean to people today.

Stonehenge Stories: The Next Chapter

Young Producers are going behind the scenes as Stonehenge builds a new future for learning, the Kusuma Neolithic Hall and Learning Centre —capturing the process in their own words for English Heritage's social media.

Swindon Snapshots

In early 2024, we teamed up with Historic England Archives and Splash to explore Swindon town and Avebury Henge & Stone circle (the lesser known henge but just as impressive as Stonehenge!) Did you know Avebury Henge is also a World Heritage Site just like Stonehenge!?

Through photography, this project set out to debunk preconceptions of the archives.

Photography at Avebury

In summer 2024, Youth Action Wiltshire visited Avebury to learn about its history, meet a National Trust archaeologist, and learn how to take photos of the famous stone circle.

Freedom and Photography

We partnered with Photoworks and University of Warwick to create both a photography resource for Portchester Castle and a photography exhibition exploring its history.
