Calling all fearless adventurers! Come aboard for our spookiest Halloween yet. From 26 October to 3 November, the ship will be packed with family fun and ghoulish activities for all ages.
Woeful Wounds: Time: 11am-3pm
Back by popular demand, ‘Woeful Wounds’ returns with a botanical twist to continue our ‘Plants Crossing Continents’ theme for 2024. During the Victorian period, steamships brought curious new plants to Britain, which found their way into make-up, medicines, food, and even home décor. Shockingly, many of these plants were poisonous, causing terrible symptoms to those who encountered them. Special effects make-up artists from SGS College will be recreating these ailments with realistic cuts, rashes, and blisters for brave young sailors to show off to their family and friends!
