Hadrian’s Wall 1900

As we hopefully head back towards ‘normal’ after two years of enforced inactivity, this year marks the anniversary of the start of the construction of Hadrian’s Wall.

We decided to get involved with the Hadrian’s Wall 1900 Festival at an early stage, focussing our efforts on the often neglected western end of the Wall. This will follow on from our previous involvement in the National Trail Launch and Illuminating Hadrian’s Wall at Bowness-on-Solway.

Our first project was the production of a film ‘Hadrian’s Decision’ in association with Bill Knowles and the Solway Coast Business Group, which was premiered at Lindow Hall in Bowness-on-Solway on 22 January 2022.

We will also be working with our regular clients, English Heritage and the Vindolanda Trust to animate the Festival.
