Ghost tours, frightening theatre, and a crash course in espionage 👻

Spy school comes to Imperial War Museum London this half-term

Got a wannabe James Bond to entertain during the school holidays? This crash course in espionage is inspired by real secret agents and will put the kids through their paces – plus it’s completely free!

New recruits will need to assemble at the museum at 10am on Saturday 24 or Sunday 25 October, to receive their mission briefing. Once briefed, learn top appearance-altering tricks and join in a spy school session to complete your training – just remember to watch out for the museum's double agents throughout the day. From mastering how to send top-secret messages using cryptic codes, to discovering historical artefacts connected to real-life spies, there's plenty of intel for kids to gain.

Spies and Disguise celebrates the launch of Puffin Books' Find the Spy, and runs 10am-3pm on Saturday 24 and Sunday 25 October at Imperial War Museum London.
