About
A unique two-day celebration of all things IRON in and around World Heritage Greenwich.
A focal point for Britain’s maritime and horological heritage, as well as the site of Henry VIII’s armoury, Greenwich is steeped in ironwork history. This one-off event will celebrate the fascinating, multi-faceted material that has played such a vital role in our history, and contributed in so many different ways to major technological developments across the globe.
