The University of Southampton's arts and humanities day is set to take place in the city centre for the first time.
The event, which is free but requires booking, is on Saturday, November 9, from 10.30am to 4.30pm.
The annual event aims to engage the public through a variety of interactive experiences, including virtual reality activities, creating Roman mosaic designs with Lego, Chinese paper cutting, and examining archaeological artefacts.
Attendees will also have the chance to view historical items from the university's archives, including memorabilia from the Battle of Waterloo, the coronation of Queen Victoria, and the raising of the Mary Rose.
This year, the event is moving from its traditional venue at Avenue Campus to Southampton's Cultural Quarter.
The new locations include MAST Mayflower Studios, Sir James Matthews Building, John Hansard Gallery, and Southampton City Art Gallery.
The event is part of the wider Southampton Arts and Humanities Festival, which has been celebrating arts and humanities since 2014.
The festival runs from November 7 to November 16 and features a range of activities.
Highlights include a film screening and discussion on future cities at the Sir James Matthews Building on November 7 at 6.30pm, a concert by BBC Singers at Turner Sims at 7.30pm, and a conversation with BBC broadcaster Nihal Arthanayake at MAST Mayflower Studios on Tuesday, November 12 at 7.45pm.
The Southampton ESRC Festival of Social Science is collaborating with this year's Arts and Humanities Day, providing a platform for the university to share its latest social science research with the public.
