A 'Hatch's History Detectives' colouring in activity

About

It's the time of year for spring cleaning; to clear out the old rushes and bring in the new, ready for summer. Find out how the Mary Rose's crew would have kept themselves and the ship in good order (or "shipshape") and celebrate her connection with Portsmouth.

Hatch's History Detectives Trail – updated for Spring 2025!
Discover the museum's spring update to its popular 'Hatch's History Detectives' trail, designed by local artists at Seekers Create for Spring 2025. Follow the paw prints through the museum galleries and find out the crew's top tips for staying in style – well, for a Tudor, at least!

Express yourself in the activity centre
Every weekday over the Easter holidays (Monday 7 to Friday 11 and Monday 14 to Friday 18 April) the Activity centre will be open for visitors to join in with a giant doodle, play along with some musical instruments, and solve the braille wordsearch. It's free fun for all the family with a Portsmouth Historic Dockyard ticket!

All this, plus:

  • Uncover the raising of the Mary Rose, told in immersive 4D, with Dive the Mary Rose 4D. Discover how she was able to stay hidden for hundreds of years at the bottom of the Solent and see her awe-inspiring return to the surface, told in stunning detail.
  • Explore real Tudor objects – from nit combs to backgammon sets, shoes and bowls with personal markings, the museum is full of actual objects, recovered from the seabed, that depict the day-to-day life of people living in Tudor England.
  • Make the most of your Easter holidays with an experience that's both exciting and enriching. Treat yourself in the on-site café, which offers a selection of seasonal delights and delicious meals. Browse the gift shop for unique souvenirs to remember your visit.

Whether you're looking for adventure or a relaxed journey through Tudor history, the Mary Rose Museum offers a fascinating and family-friendly escape this Easter.
