Join Cara Headon, Community Development Officer and lead for the Mansbridge Heritage Project. At the Southampton Arts and Humanities Festival event day, Cara will be running a hands-on activity at my heritage stall where you can explore the history of your home using original Kelly's Directories.

If you live in a house built before 1960, this is a brilliant opportunity to find out who lived there before you and when your home first appeared in the records. You'll be guided through the process and can create your own timeline of past residents to take home.

This activity is:

Perfect for curious minds of all ages (especially adults and older children)
Easy to take part in-no experience needed
A great way to connect with local history and your community

You'll leave with a deeper understanding of your home's story and the people who came before you. Whether you're a long-time resident or just love a bit of historical sleuthing, come along and get stuck in!

All materials are provided, and Cara will be on hand to help you every step of the way.
