Welcome to Stratford-on-Sea

This weekend the Discover centre is transformed into a seaside resort – enjoy the beach, watch a puppet show and join in with some seaside crafts. But watch out for the pirates!

All day, drop-in for all ages
Sand and Water play stations * Make a shell necklace * Hunt the Pirate Treasure!

Maisy and Cyril are off to the seaside – join them to pack their bags, get on the train and make sandcastles on the beach. With our Story Builder’s help, you too can make a postcard to send home.

The Night Pirates by Peter Harris and Deborah Allwright

Tom is awake and at his window one night when a band of girl pirates emerge from the shadows. Let this beautiful shadow-puppet show based on the book’s original illustrations transport you across the high seas to a desert island where a surprise attack is planned on the world’s laziest adult pirates...
