Tallships update:
After a memorable sunset and a night on the anchor, we left early this morning to arrive back at Portsmouth at 8.30. We packed our bags (and managed not to forget anything hopefully!), cleaned the boat thoroughly and received our certificates!
We are now en route to Peterborough and will update when we have a definite ETA!

🎭 Thank You, RSC!

A huge thank you to the Royal Shakespeare Company for an unforgettable week at OBA with their First Encounters: Julius Caesar production.

From inspiring workshops and backstage experiences to an outstanding performance, our students were given a fantastic opportunity to engage with Shakespeare and the wider creative industries.

The impact on our students has been incredible, and we are grateful for the enthusiasm, professionalism and generosity shown by the entire RSC team.

We hope to welcome you again soon! 🎭✨

Tall Ships – Day 4 Update!
It’s our last full day aboard, and what an adventure it’s been. Today started off with an exciting opportunity to climb the mast, before Madame Powell’s team emerged victorious in the knot-tying competition

We’re spending our final night at anchor, enjoying a beautiful sunset and cooking our dinner before we head home tomorrow.
What a fantastic trip it’s been! ❀️⛡
