Organiser: Peter Wood

These days the Portsmouth Historic Dockyards (PHD) offer up to seven Attractions: 

  • The Mary Rose Museum (displays artefacts from the ship as well as the ship itself)

  • HMS Victory (open but undergoing major conservation work with some access restrictions)

  • HMS Warrior (Britain’s first iron-hulled, armoured battleship, launched in 1860)

  • HMS M.33 (one of only three surviving British warships that served during WW 1)

  • The National Museum of the Royal Navy (includes the Sailing Navy, Victory and Nelson Galleries)

    

And over the water in Gosport (the waterbus cannot be booked in advance)

  • The Royal Navy Submarine Museum (with X24, HMS Alliance and HMS Holland 1)

  • The Explosion Museum of Naval Firepower (on the site used to store munitions)

Museums are fully accessible though some ships have limited access - see www.historicdockyard.co.uk

 

Our outing includes a Three Attraction Explorer Ticket.  With individual tickets you can choose which three of the above you would like to explore and in which order.

​

Our coach (with WC) left at 09:15 to get us there for 11:30 and we headed home at 16:45 arriving at about 19:00. 

 

PHD advise that the dwell time of most attractions is 60 minutes but Mary Rose requires 120 minutes (or more with recent video additions) as do the two Gosport Attractions. 

 

Inside the Dockyard there are two eating opportunities, in Boathouse 7 and in the café next to the Mary Rose Museum.
