Rats in Hats

Christmas at the Mary Rose

Help! Twelve rats have hidden themselves amongst the largest collection of Tudor artefacts anywhere in the world this Christmas. We now need your help to locate them!

Dressed in an array of Tudor hats, from the Lord of Misrule’s festive Jester’s hat to King Henry VIII’s crown, rats have taken over the museum this Christmas!

Rats were everywhere on the Mary Rose, and that’s why Hatch, our ships dog, was onboard – he was a ratter! Hatch needs your help and that’s why we have created this special event for all the family to enjoy together this Yuletide.

There is a specially designed hat for each rat – all you have to do is find them!

This event is free with a valid museum ticket.
