Rummage through our Christmas treasure chest below of over 20 new gifts and help Nancy Blackett keep sailing.
We have new gifts to suit everyone, and all proceeds go to support our work to keep Nancy Blackett as a historic working ship, as original as possible, and accessible for anyone to visit or sail.
It costs the Nancy Blackett Trust many thousands of pounds each year to keep Nancy Blackett afloat, and, particularly at this time of year, our Shop is a major contributor to our fundraising efforts.
So, please, buy one of our new Christmas gifts (or, even better, several!) from our Shop below, and not only will you be helping Nancy Blackett to last forever, but you’ll be treating yourself or a loved one to something unique at the same time:

About the film
From the makers of Walton’s Secret Water and Portrait of Harwich, this film takes the viewer on an exploration of the countryside that inspired John Constable, visiting the landscapes, towns and villages that he loved around the Stour and Orwell estuaries and further afield in Suffolk and Essex.
Narrator Victoria Lampard (from ITV News Anglia) conducts us through Dedham and Dedham Vale, East Bergholt, Flatford and Stratford St Mary, to Roman Colchester, Wivenhoe, Brantham, Manningtree, Mistley, Lawford and Harwich, then up into Suffolk, via Pin Mill to Ipswich, Nayland, Stoke by Nayland, Hadleigh, Kersey, Boxford, Lavenham, Long Melford and Sudbury.
The film’s producer, David Webb was born in Mistley and in his youth explored these areas by bicycle. As a staff member at the BBC he won a gold award for his documentary work.
