Help us celebrate women in Portsmouth’s Maritime Industries

Do you have a story to share about a woman who worked in Portsmouth’s maritime industries?

Perhaps you, your mum, grandmother, auntie or another family member worked in the dockyards, shipyards or historic Colour Lofts.

As part of Colour Loft – three days of storytelling, collective making, live performance, light and sound with a 19m Lioness inspired by the women who worked in the colour lofts as the centrepiece – we’re collecting stories, memories and photographs celebrating the women who helped shape Portsmouth’s maritime heritage.

Help us bring these stories to life!

Your contributions will help us celebrate the women behind the work, sharing their stories throughout the project campaign and as part of our live event at Portsmouth Guildhall, 8–10 January 2027.

Do you have a story or photograph to share?
