Get ready to soar through school holidays with engaging activities at the Fleet Air Arm Museum!

Join us at the Fleet Air Arm Museum every Wednesday in January 2026 for a selection of fun and hands-on experiences.

In addition to exploring the exciting story of naval aviation from the early twentieth century to the modern era, kids can take part in the following activities:

10:30 – 11:30 am – Captain Salty – Join a Ship’s company (recommended for 6 – 12 years)*

Experience what it’s like to spend a day at sea, complete with authentic naval traditions and interactive exercises.

11:30am – 12:30pm – Commander Badger – Design a personal Ship’s Badge (recommended for 8 – 14 years)

Discover the significance and artistry of a Navy Ship’s Badge, then design your own version through a creative, self-reflective art activity.
