Secrets and spies All age activity day

Join us at the Wardlaw Museum for a day of mystery, detection and stealth at our Secrets and Spies Activity Day.

Discover how spies played a key role in the early reign of Mary, Queen of Scots, and test your own covert skills and undercover talents through hands-on activities. Crack codes, uncover secret messages, and complete your own spy missions in a fun, playful way.

Suitable for all ages, this event invites families to explore big ideas in history while having an exciting, interactive adventure together.

This event forms part of War, destruction and reform: the early years of Mary, Queen of Scots, a public programme accompanying the exhibition on view at the Wardlaw Museum from Saturday 7 March to Sunday 20 September 2026.
