Return to the ‘Age of Sail’ when the Dockyard built mighty ships that mastered the world’s oceans. Test your sea legs on HMS Ocelot, a Cold War Submarine during her 60th birthday year; explore HMS Cavalier, a Second World War Destroyer and walk the deck of HMS Gannet, our Victorian Sloop. 

Watch the Master Ropemakers at work using centuries-old techniques on the iconic Ropewalk and explore the latest Ropery gallery. Don’t forget to head to the No.1 Smithery to see the latest temporary exhibition - for 2023 discover Monsters of the Deep. 

Let the kids let o some steam in one of the many play areas. Run, jump and hide in the outdoor play area. Or scramble your way through the soft play indoor area. The beautiful garden space is an ideal setting to enjoy a tasty picnic full of tasty treats or relax and refuel in the Mess Deck restaurant or Wagon Stop Canteen, with a new menu for 2023 to wet your appetite.
