Ship Ahoy! family trail at Petworth

Step into the world of J.M.W. Turner and set sail on an artistic adventure through Petworth House and Garden. Follow the clues to discover the golden light, rolling landscapes, and stormy skies that inspired Turner’s famous paintings.

But this isn’t just any trail—Turner loved painting the sea, so get ready for some nautical fun. Climb aboard our large wooden ships, imagine braving wild waves, and take part in seafaring games along the way. Can you steer your ship through a storm, hoist the sails, or spot land on the horizon?

Grab your artist’s eye and your sea legs, and embark on a creative voyage through the landscapes Turner loved.

The trail is free but normal admission applies. No booking required.
