About Pirates Ahoy!

Join Captain ‘Cutlass’ Kate and her pirate crew on a search for hidden treasure at Fort Nelson this May half term. 

There will be have-a-go activities including making pirate flags, dressing up, and digging for buried treasure. Pick up a trail sheet, explore the Fort, bust some myths, and learn some surprising facts about pirates. Plus join our gang on a treasure hunt, collect the letters and solve the puzzle to earn your pirate badge.

Admission is free. Please pre-book your visit as half term will be busy at the Fort.
