Sun 17 May 2026

The Old Royal Naval College lets families loose in the Painted Hall on the third Sunday of every month, turning the grand space into a playground for all ages. On May 17, 2026, wander through activity stations where you can sketch the ceiling without anyone batting an eyelid, stack blocks into wonky architectural wonders inspired by Wren's designs, slip into costumes to channel historical oddballs tied to the month's theme, handle artefacts with the collections team to see what keeps history from crumbling, or join a kid-friendly chat about the Painted Ceiling complete with replica props for poking.

Themes rotate monthly around the site's seafaring past, from art and architecture to sailors, pirates, or even film and TV nods, so the hall feels fresh each time without the usual museum hush. Where: Old Royal Naval College, The Painted Hall, King William Walk, Greenwich, London SE10 9NN. When: May 17, 2026.
