Real Ideas is bringing an area of Devonport to life between the 27th of February to 2nd of March 2025 with the Dazzle event; a festival of light. It’s the culmination of a series of projects marking the bicentennial of the area’s renaming.

A new display now on show at The Box is exploring Plymouth’s little-known links to the migration of people from the Caribbean throughout the mid-1900s.

People who live in or have a connection with Devonport are being invited to a special event at The Box on Saturday 11 January where they can share their memories, stories and objects. The ‘Recent History Day’ is part of The Box’s programme marking the 200th anniversary of the founding of Devonport – once a separate town named Dock.
