Our popular Play Tuesdays events for under-5s are moving outdoors!

The Museum may be shut a little bit longer, but the grounds are open to discover. Drop into the grounds on Tuesdays between April 19th and May 16th and take part in Play Outdoors Tuesdays.

The fantastic team of Early Years facilitators has created playful activities perfect for under 5s and their adults. These self-directed activities will encourage your little one to explore the outdoors whatever the weather!

Find us outside the National Maritime Museum and come prepared for the weather. 

Drop in | Socially distanced 

The Parkside Cafe, shop and toilets will be open for the public. Please note that the regular indoor Play Tuesday sessions will return later in the Spring pending government guidance.
