Experimental Saturdays are monthly events at the Prince Philip Maritime Collections Centre designed to spark creativity, conversation and confidence.
From hands-on art workshops and curator-led talks to wellbeing sessions and introductory coding and digital skills workshops for adults, each session offers a fresh way to experience the collections and try something new.
Whether you want to slow down, learn a new skill, hear fascinating stories, or get creative with friends, there’s something for you. Join us for inspiring, relaxed sessions that open up the stores in engaging and unexpected ways.
