Nautical Story Telling

We will be getting nautical with our drop-in crafts, creating mini stick-rafts and boats. You can launch these wherever you like - in the Royal Docks, in the Thames, have a race in your paddling pool with a friend, or even try them out in your bath at home.

Our brilliant Story Builders will be there to guide you, with watery themed stories and games throughout the day.
