News

Wed 2 Nov 22

It can be difficult to keep track of all the events happening in London during the Christmas season. To help you out, we have listed out our top five family activities taking place at the Old Royal Naval College this Winter.

From a unique visit from Santa under Luke Jerram’s Museum of the Moon, to creative workshops and story-telling sessions, we have something to offer for children of all ages (and their parents!)

Pay a Special Visit to Santa

When Santa heard that the Museum of the Moon was coming to the Old Royal Naval College, he decided to clear up his diary and make a special visit to tell children some lunar stories.

Come along for a moon-inspired story, a present, and a chance to take a photo with him.
