|
| There's lots of fun to be had this summer at IWM London and HMS Belfast, with a family activity every day from 24 July - 31 August. Learn how to keep a warship in tip-top condition, travel back in time to D-Day in 1944, take charge of HMS Belfast and discover new interactive experiences on board!
And for one weekend only, we’re looking for new operatives to join IWM London’s spy school. Think you’re up to the challenge? All family activities are free and take place from 10am - 3pm daily - just drop in to take part.
At HMS Belfast an admission ticket is required to come on board. Daily activities may vary, so we recommend checking details at the admissions desk upon arrival. |
