Book Cutty Sark tickets

Inspired by Cutty Sark's ornate exterior, come along and try your hand at gilding in time for the festive season. We'll be making gilded Christmas decorations and getting playful with all things gold aboard the ship.

These workshops are drop-in and suitable for all ages, and are included in your ticket to Cutty Sark.

A view from below of an old sailing ship on a glass platform, with a long bow under which is a white figurehead in the shape of a woman. There are lots of ropes which form the rigging zigzagging across the image.
