Portsmouth Seafood Festival

Event Highlights in June

The eyes of the UK will be on Portsmouth this June, as the city hosts the national commemorations for D-Day 75. The Queen is expected to be in attendance at a special event organised by the Ministry of Defence on 5 June, alongside heads of state from across the world. This event is the first of a five-day programme that will see film screenings, live performances and a vintage festival head to Southsea Common.

June isn't just about D-Day, though, as there will be a whole host of exciting events taking place throughout the month, long after the commemoration events have concluded. Take a look at some of our highlights here, or scroll down to see the full list.

D-Day 75

From 5 to 9 June, Portsmouth will host a vast array of events to mark 75 years since the historic D-Day landings. There's loads going on across the five days, so be sure to visit the D-Day 75 section for all the details. Some highlights include a fireworks display over Southsea Common (being organised by Gunwharf Quays), a Portsmouth Revival vintage festival and live music performances of compositions created specially for D-Day 75.

Of course, much focus will be on the veterans, with a specially chartered ship taking around 300 to Normandy for commemoration events on the beaches on June 6. Visitors can wave the veterans off from Southsea on the 5 June. There will also be a memorial event at the D-Day Stone for those not making the journey.

Portsmouth Festivities

June sees the return of Portsmouth Festivities - a 10-day celebration of arts and culture in the city. As ever, you can expect a whole range of different events throughout 14 - 23 June, many of which are totally free to attend.

There will be live music performances, talks from some of the country's most fascinating characters, and plenty more. Be sure to take a look through the listings, as there's certain to be something to pique your interest.
