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.

    Love HMS Warrior! Been fortunate enough to attend a Dinner function onboard. Great experience. Also visited during the day on a number of occasions with family. Lots of history and you get to experience what the sailors lived liked. If you love Naval History this is a must!

    Beautiful old warship. After a full day at the maritime museum, we were tirred when we got to Hms Warrior, we almost did not see it, but I am happy we saw it. It was much better than Victory. There was staff dressed like old sailors onboard and we really enjoyed talking with them, they could explain a lot and knew what they talked about. Nice that old ships are preserved and open for visitors. Interesting and worth to visit

    The most powerful battleship, when it was launched. Now a peaceful museum. Very interesting! you can get an idea how the hundreds of sailors (over 700) lived on board her, under the decks with low ceilings. You can see how the dozens of cannons were arranged, you can see the machine room that ensured the propulsion (along with the sails, which had not yet been abandoned), you can see the huge cooking machine and many others.
