Set sail and embark on a memorable event at our Portsmouth Harbour site. Our Portsmouth Harbour site is made up of 4 venues in Portsmouth - the pride of Queen’s Victoria’s fleet - HMS Warrior, The HMS Victory, The National Museum of the Royal Navy and Action Stations and only a few minutes boat ride away is our 2 Gosport venues - The Royal Submarine Museum and Explosion Museum of Naval Firepower.

Climb on-board the largest, fastest and most powerful warship of Queen Victoria’s fleet, HMS Warrior. As soon as you step on-board, the story of the ship will unfold before you. The HMS Warrior is made up of 4 event spaces: Half Deck, Main Gun Deck, Officer’s Wardroom and The Captain’s Cabin.

Half deck: An evocative space for smaller dinners, the Half Deck separated the space between the crew and where the Captain lived and worked.

Main Gun deck: Guests can dine at the mess tables where the seven hundred sailors used to take their meals, in between the forty guns that made up Warriors single gun deck.

Officers’ Wardroom: Originally the mess for the officers, even the Captain would have to ask permission to enter. The Wardroom table is available for intimate dinners.

Captain’s Cabin: Set like a Victorian drawing room, your guests can luxuriate and dine in the splendour of the Captain’s Cabin, with its rich décor and fine furniture.

    Had a great experience aboard HMS Warrior. Met an in character member that was more than happy to provide us with facts and answer any questions. Amazing to have stood on the largest, fastest and most powerful warship of its time.

    Beautiful ship. You get a real sense of what a huge step forward steam power represented. There are a few staff on board who play the part of crew members.... very convincingly. They will talk to you about any aspect of their lives at sea, being in the Navy... or life in general at the time. Fabulous 😁

    Had a great time looking around and learning about the ship and many other interesting facts about that time. A special thanks to the gentleman, the 4th lieutenant on Dec 27th 2023(I added his picture), that showed my mum and I around and held my mum's crutches whenever we went up or down the stairs. Definately worth booking tickets to the dock yard and going to the warrior.

    An amazing ship! One that you see as you exit Portsmouth Harbour station. It's in great condition and really well presented. A must-see for those who want to explore the naval heritage of this city.
