Help Us Create a Sea of Poppies for Southsea Castle!
Help Us Create a Powerful Tribute for Portsmouth’s Centenary Year
In 2026, Portsmouth celebrates 100 years of city status, and we’re inviting our community to help create something truly special.
Sea of Poppies for Southsea Castle is a community-led remembrance installation that will transform Southsea Castle with thousands of handmade red poppies, created by knitters and crocheters from across Portsmouth and beyond.
Each poppy represents a personal act of remembrance, gratitude, and reflection. Together, these individual creations will form a stunning visual display, cascading from the historic castle walls in a powerful tribute to those who served and sacrificed.
