Join us at the Mary Rose Museum this February half term to take on an exciting array of Tudor Challenges. Whether it be taking part in our Tudor dance, creating your own graffiti or finding words in our braille word search there’s plenty of engaging activities for all the family.
Find out more about some amazing community projects we have been involved with over the last year which are being showcased in our “Anchored in the Community” exhibition and see how the Mary Rose has inspired people from across our communities here in Portsmouth.
