Housed in the magnificent Boathouse No.6 in Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, Action Stations offers a wide range of facilities for the conference and event organiser. The combination of a spacious auditorium, two excellent workshop/meeting room spaces and a large break out/catering area make it a truly unique and versatile venue.

Action Stations’ 275 seat state of the art auditorium has a Digital projection system for Power Point and DVD operation complete with surround sound, radio microphones and lectern. A dedicated conference technician for all your AV needs is provided as part of the package, which makes for a highly professional service for any meeting, conference or presentation.

    Great few hours out! Bought an ANNUAL 'Ultimate Explorer' family ticket which includes ALL Portsmouth Dockyard attractions (including Submarine Museum and Explosion Museum of Naval Firepower')... Pay once, visit all year... It's too big to do it all in one day... It also includes a harbour tour and boat crossing to/fm Gosport and Portsmouth... Wrt to HMS Warrior; great actors/volunteers who could be found all over the ship, bursting with knowledge about their particular role. They really made things come alive and to help explain life on board an 1860's ship of the Royal Navy!

    Simply the most amazing battle ship I have been on. It’s got steam engine, iron hull and washing machine for a 18thC boat. 49 cannons. The design for combat is second to none. The demos on the ship were brilliant. We learned how cannons were loaded, we learned how the ship was powered by coal. And most fascinating was learning all the guns and knives they used to combat enemies. We spent 2 hours there. Must visit.

    One of my favourite ships here. Warrior is a huge ship with an insane amount to explore. The actors on the ship are brilliant. They really do stay in character and have such a huge level of knowledge. We were throwing all sorts of questions at them and they knew so much. The actors are definitely a massive benefit to exploring the ship. The ship is massive. I couldn’t imagine being on such a ship while it’s rocking forward and back in the ocean. This is my top place to visit when going to the H Dockyard. A MUST visit location. Pictures do not do it any justice. You need to see this glorious ship

    HMS WARRIOR wow 👌🏻 what a ship 🚢 I literally was blown away by her beauty 😍. England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🇬🇧 had some fantastic ships. I highly recommend a visit here. If you have children, be mindful, and plenty of accidents can easily happen. So make them aware not to run about or climb. No pushchairs are allowed, and they do have a pushchair bay to leave them. Also, it is not advisable for those with wheelchair or poor physical health. Steep steps up and down. Low ceilings also. But other than that, 10000% is worth it.

    I think of all of the ship exhibitions we visited the Warrior was the best. There were a few actors that talked to you about the ship and what is was like to live on the ship, and the most interesting talk was down In the boiler room
