Set sail this October half-term and become a detective at sea.

Join us for a swashbuckling week of activities as we uncover the truth behind pirates and smugglers. Were they daring criminals, clever traders, or something in between? Follow the clues, investigate suspicious cargo, and decide who has really been robbing ships and smuggling goods across the open waters.

Families can get hands-on with trail activities and themed crafts as we explore maritime crime, coastal law enforcement, and the dangers faced by those who keep the seas safe. From hidden contraband to stolen treasure, you will need sharp eyes and clever thinking to crack the case.

Perfect for curious minds and young explorers, these activities are included with standard museum entry and run throughout the October half-term.
