Museum and Workshops
For accessibility information, transport links and a downloadable museum map guide visit our website:
www.maryrose.org/your-visit
Children must be supervised by an adult at all times. Activities are designed to allow parents and children
to share their learning and experiences of the day. We understand that in some families only one adult is
able attend the Home Educator Day and you may have children of different ages. In this situation we
suggest that either you choose one activity for both children to do together or join up with friends; one adult
can supervise & support the children who are over 11 years of age, and one the children who are under 11.
Workshops take place in the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Learning Centre at the Mary Rose Museum.
Your booking confirmation will allocate you to Group A or B.
