Vivacity is an independent, not-for-profit organisation with charitable status. We manage many of Peterborough’s most popular culture and leisure facilities on behalf of Peterborough City Council.

Peterborough and its surrounding area has a rich history and heritage which tells a fascinating story. Whether you call Peterborough home, live nearby, or are just visiting, you can explore it in lots of different ways.

You can visit our historic sites and discover amazing artefacts, enjoy a historically themed tour, take in a talk, or get spooked on a ghost walk. Maybe even come along and take part in one of the many heritage events the city hosts every year. There is something for everyone to enjoy.

Vivacity’s museums & heritage service operates from three sites, the historic city centre Museum, the Bronze Age Flag Fen site, and Longthorpe Tower.

Could you be a part of history..

Twitter @FortyYearsOnDid you, or a member of your family or community, arrive in Peterborough during the 1960s, 1970s and the 1980s from the Commonwelath?  Do you have a story to tell about your migration experience? If so, the ‘Forty Years On’ project would love to hear from you. 

The project is collecting stories from people who arrived in the city during that period to add to the oral history archive. To find out more about the project, view the document attached below, alternatively please contact Tina Bramhill on (01733) 864298 or tina.bramhill@vivacity-peterborough.com.
