About

Take a journey down the River Thames to Greenwich and take part in a range of creepy crawly-themed activities at the National Maritime Museum this October half term!

Featuring craft workshops and storytelling sessions, there's something different happening every day of half term.

And best of all? All activities are free and drop-in with no need to book in advance.

Family workshops at Royal Museums Greenwich are designed for children and their carers to participate and learn together as an intergenerational group. Activities are planned on the basis of each participating adult bringing up to four children.

The Cove outdoor playground is open every day too, and there's also a host of events taking place at our other sites including Cutty Sark and the Queen's House.
