How much do you really know about sharks?
Find out in this fun, family-friendly workshop!

Dive into the fascinating world of sharks in this hands-on session led by the wonderfully creative team from Erth. Through engaging puppetry demonstrations, you’ll discover incredible facts about Hammerhead sharks, including how they move and behave.

Learn about a range of shark species and get creative by making your own Hammerhead shark silhouette puppet. The session wraps up with a lively roving performance, where participants bring their creations to life and guide their very own shiver (school) of sharks through the Museum.

Suitable for ages 5 and above.
Parents and carers are required to stay with participants for the duration of the workshop and encouraged to join in. Attending adults will require a ticket.
