The Golden Hinde’s The Spanish Armada KS3 & KS4 Workshop
Key Info
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 also be provided with their pre and post-visit resources, designed to encourage them to get the most out of their visit.
