Summer Activities - 22nd July - 29th August 

Ahoy! Ye brave buccaneers, wherever ye hail from? Look lively and steer a course this summer for the National Museum of the Royal Navy Hartlepool! The theme for family activities this summer is pirates! Those lovable rogues of the high seas.

Join our craft sessions and make your own cutlass or pistol. Yer nippers can then buckle a swash in the cutlass class and roam together in search of buried treasure, with the fun family trail.

So shake a leg and heave ho! Fetch yer nippers for a day full of adventure whatever the weather! Activities are every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, 11:00 until 4:00 from July 27th until 1st September. The Pirate Quayside Trail will be all day every day!
