Join us for a relaxed opening of Pirates at the National Maritime Museum, designed to welcome neurodivergent and SEND visitors, those with sensory processing differences, and anyone who would enjoy a calmer environment to view the exhibition.
This exhibition uncovers the truth behind pirate life – and explores why pirates continue to fascinate us today – through more than 200 objects.
This event is suitable for those aged 15+
