Problems to solve and crafts to create this Easter at The D-Day Story

This Easter, there's a wide range of exciting activities for families to take part in down at The D-Day Story on Southsea seafront.

Do you know your LCT from your BARV or your LCVP from your DUKW? Find out this Easter - from hands-on experiments, to creative crafts, the museum's family holiday activity programme is inspired by Landing Craft Tank (LCT) 7074, which is based outside the museum on Clarence Esplanade.

Operation: Spies and Lies returns to the museum this Easter. Do you have what it takes to complete the challenges to find the mystery object? The challenge will take you around the museum, learning more about the objects and people involved in D-Day. Complete all the puzzles to claim your sticker and get an exclusive free D-Day backpack to take home.

Plus you can also take part in our family trail Resist!, which is inspired by the French Resistance and their role during D-Day. Work together as a team to find and solve clues and puzzles on board LCT 7074 and throughout the museum. The trail is perfect for family groups and is available every day, just ask at the front desk.

Councillor Steve Pitt, Leader of Portsmouth City Council, said: "We are really pleased to be able to offer such a wealth of educational activities during the holidays at The D-Day Story. It's the perfect opportunity to get the family together for some Easter fun."

Events will be running throughout the Easter break with all activities included in the admission price. No need to book, but sessions can be very popular, so visitors are advised to arrive early.
