Yuck Yard: Barnaby Bilge’s Big Mess

24th October - 8th November 2026
The Historic Dockyard Chatham

Enjoy a frightfully fun Halloween OCTOBER Half Term

Something spookily messy is happening at The Historic Dockyard Chatham this October Half Term.  

Every morning, the Night Security Team arrive to find another disgusting surprise. Slimy puddles. Glowing green handprints. Tangled rope. Missing tools. Galleries in complete chaos. 

There is one theory – Barnaby Bilge is back. 

But others are not convinced.  

For more than 400 years, people have whispered that Barnaby Bilge drifts around the Dockyard after dark. Once a hardworking Dockyard Matey, he can’t resist trying to help wherever he can.
