CHILDREN can relive the Gunpowder Plot at halfterm activities ahead of Bonfire Night.

Under 12s can join ‘Guy Fawkes’ and the other plotters at the Royal Armouries at Fort Nelson, near Fareham, to bring history to life as they help to plan and prepare the 1605 plot to blow up the Houses of Parliament.

They will venture into a 19th century fort tunnel, which will then be ‘blown up’ using audio-visual special effects.

Forty-minute sessions run from 11am to 4pm, from October 27 to October 31.
