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.

Gaming Heritage with the National Videogame Museum

We supported the National Videogame Museum (NVM) in a project exploring the heritage of games, including character creation, avatars and representation, from the 1970s to the present. The result was a creative pop-up trail and puzzles created by the NVM's internal panel of young people, the Game Changers.

The Ancestors

A clique of Caribbean maroon warrior women,

A general of Haiti and his right-hand man,

An ex-enslaved couple reclaiming their land,

A group of Black French Caribbean soldiers and their wives travelling across the Atlantic to be reunited with them.

These are the Ancestors: manifesting in our world, in the hopes we can stop history repeating itself.

Apsley House Site Visit

In October 2021, City Lions Westminster visited Apsley House to learn about its history and engage with its large art collection.

From Ordinary to Extraordinary

We partnered with the Young Archaeologists' Club to help fund an exciting opportunity for YACs from across the UK to design and deliver an archaeology themed project in their own community.

The projects focused on exploring untold stories and narratives linked to a site/place chosen by their group.
