Free bugs, crafts and stories at the Maritime Museum this half-term
The National Maritime Museum’s 24 October–1 November programme uses bugs as a starting point for half-term activities. Check the individual session rather than assuming an identical daily timetable.

Choose the activity before the journey
The museum lists free crafts and storytelling within its half-term programme.
Adults and children participate together. Match the actual session’s date, format and guidance to the family rather than treating the whole date range as one bookable event.

Keep the paid extras separate
Other museum activities can have different admission arrangements.
Astronomers Take Over, for example, is separately ticketed; a free programme heading does not make every related experience free.
Leave room for an ordinary museum visit
Pick one activity as the anchor and keep the rest flexible.
Confirm the latest session details and any access needs with the museum. This is an announced-programme guide, not an account of a visit or a guarantee of places.
