Meet The Past
Fourth Sunday of the month | 11am - 3.30pm

Old Royal Naval College Grounds
On the fourth Sunday of each month, come and meet someone from history. As you walk the grounds of the Old Royal Naval College, a different actor in costume will be there each month to regale you with stories of the past.
Children are free to ask questions and find out about some of the people who we can usually only read about in history books.
No payment necessary – just come along and strike up a conversation! Come to the Visitor Centre on the day to find out more.
