❤️Community Poppy Project❤️

Over 3,000 handmade poppies now fill the Great Hall at Highcliffe Castle in a special display to mark Remembrance Day.

The project began with our volunteer wellbeing group, ‘Hooks and Heritage’, and grew with contributions from Castle volunteers, community groups and individuals.

We invite you to visit the Great Hall, take a moment to reflect and remember, and see this moving display created by our community.

📅 On display until Tuesday 17 November
🎟️ Free admission for Armed Forces, Veterans and Poppy Makers

To support the Royal British Legion, please follow the donation link on our events page

Same castle. Different colour palette. A little colour grading goes a long way. 🎥

Golden stonework, deeper blues and those beautiful natural greens. Highcliffe Castle was already doing most of the work. We just gave it the cinematic treatment. Sometimes all it takes is a little colour to see somewhere familiar in a completely different light. 🧡
