The Best Things To Do With The Kids This June

From family-friendly festivals to slime-making workshops, here are the best things to keep the kids entertained this June.

Let history come to life on the Golden Hinde

Hop aboard the Golden Hinde and discover what life was like in the 16th century on Sir Francis Drake‘s historic ship. The Living History tour, especially for families, will have you meet the characters you’d find abroad the ship: The Ships Master will show you how to navigate at sea; the Master Gunner will teach you how to fire a cannon and keep your limbs hidden when you meet the gory Barber Surgeon!

Golden Hinde, St Mary Overie’s Dock, Cathedral St, London SE1 9DE; until 2 June
