US Connections (Portsmouth)
The US connections project brings to life the historical and cultural connections between the two nations. New touring and modular itineraries have been developed for the US market, focusing on tested themes including D-Day and the Special Relationships, United Allies and Old Stories of the New World. The project invites you to visit Portsmouth to sample some of the experiences in the new US Connections itineraries including the new D-day Story museum where using real objects and vehicles, stories, interactives, and amazing audio visual displays, the museum tells the story from preparation and planning to D-Day itself and the Battle of Normandy through to the legacy gallery, home to the incredible 83 metre long Overlord Embroidery.
England’s Literary Greats (Winchester and Chawton)
The Discover England Fund – Englands Literary Greats project has been working with three of England’s cities famous for their literary legends and world renowned stories to develop new themed itineraries relating to authors, books, films and characters. The project invites you to sample one of these itineraries and to walk in the footsteps of Jane Austen in Winchester and Chawton.
