Gosport Let's Have a Brew!
We’re inviting local residents to share their memories, stories, and reflections about tea, and how this everyday ritual connects us to each other and to Gosport’s past.
​
As part of the Gosport Heritage Generator Project, funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund and administered by Hampshire Cultural Trust, we’ve co-designed this project with Gosport residents to celebrate the role of tea in our community life.
​
​
Share your tea story
​
We’ve created a digital Padlet wall (below) where anyone can post their memories, photographs, and reflections about tea. Whether it’s a first cuppa with a friend, a family tradition, or a memory of Gosport’s tea shops, your story is part of our shared heritage. All you have to do is click on the orange + icon and you can add text, pictures and videos.
​
Workshops & drop-in days
​
Alongside the online wall, we’ll be running:
-
Outreach Blackout Poetry workshops with local groups and services in Gosport.
-
Two community drop-in days in January for free tea, chat, and tea-themed crafts.

​
Celebrating together
​
The project will culminate in a celebratory exhibition showcasing the stories, poems, and creative work collected throughout the project. We’ll also launch a co-designed trail around Gosport’s tea shops and heritage links, inviting the whole community to explore, sip, and celebrate together.
