National Museum of the Royal Navy Hartlepool, Spooky Halloween Fun, Monday 24th October to Sunday 30th October Travel back in time over 200 years this Halloween and experience the spooky side of life at sea.

Climb aboard HMS Trincomalee and explore all the nooks and crannies. If you succeed make sure to collect one of our special goody bags. To take part in the trail and receive a goody bag there is an additional charge of £2.50 which can be paid upon arrival.
After discovering the clues make sure to take part in some of our creepy craft activities too, this is included in the price of your ticket.
National Museum of the Royal Navy Hartlepool, Pirate School, Wednesday 26th October and Thursday 27th October Bring your little pirates this half-term to take part in Pirate School. Learn a variety of skills in your quest to be the best buccaneer, and see what pirate life was like. See live cannons firing, join in with the cutlass class, learn rope making skills and much more. These activities are included in the price of your annual ticket.
After all this excitement why not let off some steam at the playpark opposite HMS Trincomalee?
National Museum of the Royal Navy Hartlepool, Horrible Histories® Pirates: The Exhibition As fans of the books, stage-shows and TV series will expect, 'Horrible Histories® Pirates' takes a funny and foul look into pirate history, complete with parrots, cutlasses and all the gore and more.
Throughout the hands-on exhibition there will be opportunities to design pirate flags, visit a raucous pirates' tavern, take out enemies with cannon fire and command a pirate ship on the high seas. Young scallywags can also learn the rules of the 'pirates' code', delve into the often-gruesome history of pirate ships and their infamous commanders (both male and female) and they'll have to practise talking like a pirate too or risk a trip to Davey Jones' Locker.
National Museum of the Royal Navy Hartlepool, HMS Trincomalee Explore the captain's cabin, mess and more onboard the oldest warship still afloat in Europe. HMS Trincomalee never saw conflict, but she was well travelled covering over 100,000 miles during her career. Originally built in 1817, after the Napoleonic wars, she is ready to welcome visitors onboard to learn the history of this exciting vessel.
