Let’s head to Portsmouth Historic Dockyard
There is so much to do, lots of fun for me and you!
From Priddy’s school of Magic to History Tellers and more,
There is so much more than naval ships to explore!
This half term there’s a whole host of additional activities taking place at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard to keep the whole family entertained. These are all included within the entry price!

21st– 28th Oct HMS Warrior: Warrior Wounds!
(10am-5pm)
In Georgian times if a sailor at sea got an infected wound, his arm would be amputated! Inspired by these gruesome events children can get grossed out by having a prosthetic wound created by make-up specialists!
22-26th Oct: History Tellers

Calling all witches and wizards! Come along to Priddy’s School of Magic and learn how to take care of dragon eggs, make your own broomstick, mix potions with Divination teacher Astrid Knox and take part in herbology lessons, learning how to use plants for health and healing, with Professor Cordelia Violet Peashoot, head of Herbology. Inspired by the 18th Century mysterious sorcerer Jane Priddy who took it upon herself to open a secret school to train gifted individuals in a very magical kind of defence!
