World Heritage UK’s most popular series of webinars to date was 2024’s Industrial Heritage. Over a series of seven talks, six Industrial World Heritage Sites and one roundtable discussion drew in the highest number of attendees any series has achieved. It was noted that not all of the UK’s Industrial World Heritage Sites were featured, and WHUK’s first series of 2026 seeks to address this. The three remaining industrial Sites will each have their own webinar, followed by the launch of the upcoming and new Industrial Heritage Trail.
• Tuesday 20th January – New Lanark WHS, with Head of Heritage Kate Lapping
• Tuesday 03rd February – Pontcysyllte Aqueduct WHS, with Claire Farrell, Canal & River Trust
• Tuesday 10th March – Blaenavon Industrial Landscape WHS, speaker tbc
• Tuesday 21st April – Launch of the Industrial Heritage Trail, with Saltaire’s Brandi Hall-Crossgrove and Derwent Valley Mills’ Sukie Khaira
The Webinar will take place at 7-8pm UK time and all webinars will run on the Zoom platform. Webinars will be recorded and uploaded to WHUK’s private YouTube account. Single tickets are £5 and a series ticket for all four talks is £15. All ticket holders will be provided the link after the webinar.
