Join us as we revisit the events of the Seaham Bombardment, which took place 110 years ago on 11 July 1916. Through objects and materials from our archive collections, we will explore the role of the Durham Light Infantry and the people at the time of the bombardment.
As part of the session, you’ll build your own periscope using recycled materials to take home. Discover how periscopes work and why they were such an important tool at the time.
All children must be always accompanied by an adult.
