Celebrate Windrush Day at the National Maritime Museum with a programme exploring the wider history of Caribbean migration to Britain.
Moving beyond the story of the Empire Windrush itself, the event examines the journeys of Caribbean communities who arrived in the UK between the 1940s and 1970s, and the lasting impact of their contributions across British society. Windrush Day, held annually on 22 June, recognises the role these communities played in shaping modern Britain.
Delivered in partnership with local communities, the programme highlights Caribbean culture through a range of activities designed to engage audiences of all ages. Events typically include a mix of interpretation, discussion and cultural activity, offering both educational insight and opportunities for reflection.
The event forms part of a wider national programme of Windrush Day activity, which brings together communities across the UK through music, exhibitions, talks and cultural celebration.
