The Golden Hinde’s The Spanish Armada KS3 & KS4 Workshop

Discover the exciting story of the 1588 Armada and its place in history.

The Armada programme is designed to breathe life into a pivotal moment in English history through interactive maps, replica handling sessions and a guided exploration of a 16th-century galleon.

Students will utilise the unique environment of their galleon and its replica collection to help them wrestle with the key historical question: ‘Why did the Armada fail?’

Students will also be provided with their pre and post-visit resources, designed to encourage them to get the most out of their visit.
