Five historical characters are ready to share their treasures with children and take them on an immersive history detective experience.

The Meet the Hoarders activity at Lancaster Maritime Museum celebrates the Hoard of Hoards Exhibition at the museum, a collection which uncovers historic hoards through to the Tudor period.

At the event on Wednesday August 16, children can listen, quiz and challenge the Tudor Lady Anne, Varus the Roman Legionary and others to unravel the truth. How will your history detective skills fair?

Children can even excavate their own treasure – will it be dino bones or jewels?
