Halloween Aboard: A Spooktacular Half-Term on The Golden Hinde!
This October half-term, The Golden Hinde welcomed families aboard for a week of Halloween-themed history, hands-on discovery and a few gruesome surprises!
Running from 24 October to 1 November, Halloween Aboard invited visitors to explore the darker side of life at sea, bringing history to life through interactive talks, fascinating historical objects and tours of our famous Tudor galleon.
A Halloween History Lesson with a Twist
Throughout the week, visitors gathered in the ship's Great Cabin for special Halloween-themed sessions, discovering some of the more unusual and unsettling aspects of maritime history.
With historical objects to explore and plenty of opportunities to get involved, these 30-minute sessions offered a different perspective on the lives, beliefs and experiences of sailors in the Tudor period.
Following each session, families could continue their adventure with a tour of the ship, exploring the decks and discovering what life aboard a 16th Century vessel might really have been like.
Thank You for Joining Us!
It was a pleasure to welcome everyone who joined us for Halloween Aboard this half-term. We hope you enjoyed discovering a few of history's more gruesome details while exploring The Golden Hinde!
A huge thank you to all our visitors and to the crew who helped bring the programme to life.
And while Halloween might be over, there's plenty more to look forward to aboard the ship!
This December, we're swapping spooky stories for festive cheer as Father Christmas returns to The Golden Hinde on Saturday 12 and 19 December! Families can enjoy a Christmas Trail around the ship, festive activities and seasonal treats in our Winter Workshop, before meeting Father Christmas himself in our Great Cabin Grotto, where every child will receive a special gift to take home.
We'd love to welcome you back aboard for a little Christmas magic!
