Guided Walk - the Pilgrims in Immingham

Discover more about our local heritage on this friendly walk!

Led by Immingham’s new Pilgrim Heritage Ambassadors, learn about the Mayflower Pilgrims and their escape to Holland in 1608 before they sailed on the Mayflower ship twelve years later to the new world.

On this guided walk through Immingham, you will learn about the Pilgrims, their dramatic escape to Holland from our shores in 1608 and how Immingham existed in the 17th century.

In 2020 Immingham joins eleven other towns and cities across England as they commemorate 400 years since the sailing of the Mayflower to the new world. You may not realise, but many of the Pilgrims were from the Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire and Yorkshire area.
