Hop on board for Drawn Aboard! Archie to the Rescue

In this creative workshop, kids and parents can design and colour their very own Archie Badenoch, the museum’s former police vessel, then watch it set sail in a magical animation. Their artwork comes to life on screen, joining a fleet of colourful Archies from around the world. Blending art, imagination, and technology, this workshop is perfect for curious kids who love to draw, dream, and explore. Set your course for creativity and let your Archie adventure begin!

Why it’s awesome:

• Learn about maritime history
• Be part of a real animation project
• Watch your ship sail the seas on screen!

Who’s it for:

Perfect for kids aged 5 – 18 and parents too! No experience needed, just imagination.
