    About Mayflower 400

    2020 marks the 400th anniversary of the sailing of the Mayflower from Plymouth UK to Plymouth Massachusetts.

    This is a unique opportunity to commemorate the legacy of the passengers and crew who undertook the journey and to highlight their stories and heritage, which is embedded in communities across the UK, US and Netherlands.

    The Mayflower 400 programme has been created to leverage this opportunity, aligning 11 core destinations in England with wider local, national and international partners and over 20 million US citizens descended from the Mayflower. It will deliver a world-class series of events, public art and wider content that will commemorate this exceptional voyage and provide a major ongoing impact across the partnership, knitting together communities, inspiring creativity and culture, driving economic growth, and promoting understanding and education.

    Mayflower 400 will champion the values of freedom, faith and personal liberty that informed the original journey, and which continue to be articulated in the special relationship between the UK, US and Netherlands. At the same time, the commemoration will recognise the impact of the Mayflower’s journey on Native American communities and address themes of colonialism and migration, providing an accurate, inclusive account of the Mayflower’s legacy.

    Together, we will draw inspiration from our past to steer our future – from now, to 2020, and for generations to come.

     

    The Great Torrington Cavaliers are involved

    We are working hard and meeting the Mayflower team in Plymouth. We will be building a FULL size replica of the Mayflower of 1620 in port with strategic buildings to the rear, and we hope this will be spectacular celebration towards the end of a fantastic year of International events. Keep your eyes on this site for more information as it happens.

    The anticipated start date for the build will be Easter 2018.
