Celebration of the Solent Lifestyle

A celebration of our local marine environment and the murals, photography, and textile projects created as part of Secrets of the Solent.

From colossal marine murals to wildlife-saving Seabins, Hampshire and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust's Secrets of the Solent project has achieved amazing things during its four-year duration

In celebration of this fantastic National Lottery Heritage Fund supported project - and all of the staff, volunteers and collaborators that made it possible - the Trust are holding a celebration event on Saturday December 10th at the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton

The eclectic event will feature art workshops with renowned wildlife street artist ATM and talented artist/illustrator Hannah Horn as well as a roster of talks from the Trust and project partners on topics such as Solent wildlife, marine conservation, seagrass and underwater photography

Take a look at our Weave-A-Fish textiles, our People of the Solent photographs and other interesting marine displays too

Come along to learn about the Solent's charismatic wildlife, listen to leading experts discuss its future, and – if you fancy it – pick up a paintbrush and help our artists create a giant underwater scene!
