About
A family Christmas trail at the Mary Rose Museum, finding twelve rats hidden among the Tudor artefacts, each wearing a specially designed Tudor hat.
Twelve rats dressed in Tudor hats — from the Lord of Misrule's jester's hat to King Henry VIII's crown — have hidden themselves around the museum's collection of Tudor artefacts. Visitors are invited to help Hatch, the Mary Rose's ships dog, by locating each rat and its specially designed hat. The trail is designed for families to enjoy together over the Christmas period and is included with a valid museum ticket.
