From Roman's to Canary Girls to The Premier League. Through wars, politics, trade unions and co-operatives. This is the story of Woolwich.
On the 3rd July in Artillery Square, from 12pm and 3pm, set atop a towering scaffolding is 'On Edge', the adrenaline fuelled gravity defying show that reveals the modern slavery problem under our nose!
The show, which is free to all, combines highly physical parkour and compelling theatre to tell a gripping story hidden in the shadows of the construction industry. A team of international collaborators, parkour athletes and performers present a visually stunning, breathtaking and entertaining piece of theatre.
Check out this video and come by. We're so excited!

We have published three new dates for Royal Arsenal History Tours. Woolwich has such and amazing history, but it is often overshadowed by its rich and famous cousin Greenwich. From a Roman settlement to the birthplace of The Royal Regiment of Artillery and Arsenal F.C. With an important role in the emancipation of women and the co-operative movement. We love shining a light on such an amazing location for the history of Britain.

This scene of the Royal Military Academy (Building 40) was painted by Paul Sandby, the father of the English watercolour around 1785-1795. It still shows the old tower from the previous building which is no longer there. Both buildings and the artist feature in the upcoming Royal Arsenal Tours.

We are so excited that tours of the Royal Arsenal will be coming back after the 12th April when outdoor activities are allowed. Numbers of tickets available will be limited to 10 people per tour (normally 30) to allow for social distance so it is likely they will sell out. Tickets go on sale Sunday 28th February in the evening. If the Government Roadmap is delayed don't worry, you can have either a full refund or exchange for a future date, your choice. Don't know about everyone else, but we are counting the days until we can safely get out and do things again.
We will meet again and tours will start again, one day.

Due to current events, all tours are suspended until further notice. Refunds will be issued week by week as the situation develops. Stay safe everyone and see you on the other side of this. Remember to be kind and work together to beat it.

Today the Crossness Pumping Station was operating the steam engine so we paid it a visit. They were also displaying The Woolwich, a steam train that operated at Royal Arsenal and is being refurbished. Well worth a visit. Check out their website for tour and steam days.
