Pick up a gory wound this Halloween aboard the SS Great Britain from October 25 to November 2 or check out the quirky yet terrifying turnip lantern trail around the dockyard and ship, if you dare, while learning fun facts about Victorian Halloween traditions.
Woeful Wounds
Back by popular demand, ‘Woeful Wounds’ returns for 2025. Special effects make-up artists from SGS College will create realistic cuts, rashes, and blisters for brave sailors to show off! They will use film and TV grade make-up to create incredibly realistic effects related to the types of injuries sustained by the crew on board the SS Great Britain. There will be a (fake) blood option of a lacerated cut (with silly glass if desired) and non-blood options of a blister or bruise (created with cream-based make-up).
For the first time, Woeful Wounds is available to all ages, from 4 years, including adults. Prepare to frighten your family and friends whether you’re a wee nipper or seasoned sailor!
Haunted Ship
Go below deck and explore the strange and unusual things happening aboard the SS Great Britain this spooky season! Encounter ghostly apparitions of crew and passengers of bygone times as you explore the ship.
Terrifying Turnip Trail
The troublesome turnips are back and ready to lead you around the dockyard and ship, each revealing fascinating facts about Victorian Halloween traditions.
