Meet a different historical character with their own story each week at the National Maritime Museum.

Every Saturday at the National Maritime Museum, a different character from history turns up to tell their own fascinating story. It's a family fun session, free to attend, and part of the museum's regular weekend programme. The character changes week to week, so no two visits are quite the same.
