Performers in a hit musical got a taste of the past by visiting a historic site in Southampton.

Mayflower Theatre's cast of SIX visited the bronze cannon at Tudor House. 

Designed for Henry VIII in 1542 by Italian Arcanus of Cesna, the cannon is rumoured to have once been on the Mary Rose.

It was purportedly a gift to Southampton for town defence.

The visit celebrated SIX's royal return and another run at Mayflower Theatre in 2025.

The theatre is currently selling tickets for performances of SIX from December 2 to December 6, available on their website or by phone.
