Standing With Giants Bon Voyage event

Ahead of the Autumn residency, we are hosting a public “Bon Voyage” event on Friday 10 April from 11.30am to 1pm, as four articulated lorries carrying the Giants depart for Normandy.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

Assisted by Harley-Davidson remembrance riders, the convoy will leave Waddesdon Manor en route to Portsmouth, sailing to Caen that evening. The installation will then be displayed in Normandy from 25th April to 20th September 2026 with the support of British and French volunteer groups.

Members of the public are warmly invited to Waddesdon to attend and wave off the Giants as they begin their journey. The installation will return to Waddesdon from 21 October for its full residency until 29 November 2026.
