The Gibraltar National Museum is pleased to announce the return of its popular ‘Walks Through History’ summer programme, taking place on Wednesday mornings from 10:00-11:30 throughout July and August as part of the Summer Sports and Leisure Programme. Designed for children aged between 9 and 12 years old, the programme offers young participants an engaging opportunity to discover Gibraltar’s rich and fascinating past through guided outdoor experiences.Now a well-established feature of the Museum’s summer activities, the walks combine history, heritage and exploration in a way that encourages curiosity and learning beyond the classroom. This year, two additional walks have been added to the programme, allowing the Museum to offer activities throughout the newly extended school summer holidays. Accompanied by Museum guides, participants will explore a range of historic sites across Gibraltar while learning about the people, events and stories that have shaped the Rock over thousands of years.
From ancient caves and defensive fortifications to hidden corners of the old town and wartime tunnels carved deep within the Rock, each walk focuses on a different aspect of Gibraltar’s unique heritage. Through these experiences, children are encouraged to develop a stronger connection with the history and environment that surrounds them in their daily lives.
As in previous years, places are expected to fill quickly. All activities are free of charge, but advance booking is essential due to limited availability. Parents or guardians are welcome to accompany children, although priority will be given to participating children where numbers are restricted. Bookings will be allocated on a first come, first served basis and must be made via email. Unfortunately, we will not be able to accommodate children who arrive without a confirmed booking.
