HISTORIC HOLIDAY
WHERE IN KENT IS THE HISTORIC DOCKYARD? A: CANTERBURY B: MAIDSTONE C: CHATHAM
The Doc is back this summer... with more experiments and more hands-on fun! Having failed to travel through time in his experiment last year – the Doc has decided that maths is needed as well as science!
BRINGING MATHS TO LIFE
The activities that Doc. Yard and his assistant Bunsen will show this year will bring maths to life in a fun and engaging way, and will include making rainbows with water fountains and learning the role that maths played in making ships at Chatham.
Doc. Yard this year has been kindly supported by BAE Systems (Rochester).
The latest exhibition at The Historic Dockyard, Breaking the Chain, tells the story of the Dutch raid on the River Medway 350 years ago, bringing together collections from major national institutions including the British Library, the Royal Collection and the National Maritime Museum.
ALL THE USUAL FUN
Combined with all the usual fun - including exploring the submarine HMS Ocelot, making rope in the Victorian Ropery and chances to let off steam in three unique play areas, your summer is sorted at The Historic Dockyard Chatham. Don’t forget, your ticket lasts for a whole year so pay once and enjoy the site again and again for the next 12 months.
