Get creative this Christmas!
Looking for something a little different to do this festive season? Come aboard The Golden Hinde and get stuck into some Christmas creativity!
Our Christmas workshops bring a little seasonal fun to the ship, inviting visitors to try their hand at festive crafts and activities in the historic surroundings of our Tudor galleon.
Workshop 1
Get creative this Christmas by making your very own Tudor Rose decoration! Using colourful paper, you’ll create a beautiful festive decoration inspired by one of the most famous symbols in British history. As you craft, discover the fascinating story behind the Tudor Rose, what it represents and why it became such an important emblem of the Tudor period.
Workshop 2
Discover the fascinating Tudor tradition of pomander making and find out how these wonderfully scented decorations were used in the past. Using fresh oranges, fragrant cloves and colourful ribbons, create your very own pomander to take home. Learn about the history behind this festive craft and how pomanders were once believed to bring good luck, freshen the air and ward off unpleasant smells.
Workshop 3
A fun festive activity especially for our younger visitors! Step back in time to the Tudor period and discover the tradition of the Lord of Misrule. Design and decorate your very own colourful crown to wear and take home, fit for a little Lord or Lady of Misrule!
Whether you're making something to take home or simply enjoying a bit of hands-on Christmas fun, it's a chance to get creative and spend some time together in a rather unusual setting.
Perfect for families and anyone who enjoys getting into the Christmas spirit!
Location: The Golden Hinde, St Mary Overie Dock, London SE1 9DE
All workshops are included in the cost of general admission!
