Crack The Code
Advertisement
We wanted to do a treasure hunt but all the clues are secret codes! Become a spy and help us 'crack' these secret messages.
A secret way of writing messages is called a cipher and in this workshop we'll introduce you to a simple cipher called a Caesar cipher (named after the Roman general, Julius Caesar, who used it to send secret military messages!).
You will construct a cipher wheel out of card and use this to 'break' secret messages to reveal the location of the hidden treasures.
This workshop is aimed at children aged 7-9 years.
This workshop session is priced at £21 and includes the admission price of 1 child with an accompanying adult to the museum! For participants aged 14 or under, we require an accompanying adult to attend the workshop alongside them.
Date: Friday 24th July 2026
Time: 11 am - 12 pm
This workshop will start promptly at 11 am, so please arrive at least 15 minutes early.
