While we couldn’t fault the whole experience of the dockyard, we were rather frustrated by the entry system. We had pre booked our tickets before going, & were confused as to why we then had to queue up again to get another ticket to go in. It was very busy & very hot so was not a good start to the day. It would be much better if there was a separate queue for people who had pre booked to speed things up a bit. Other than that we really couldn’t fault the facilities on offer. We particularly enjoyed the self guided tour on the Victory.

Advise getting there for opening time. Car park had plenty of empty spaces and Victory was more enjoyable without the crowds Audio was excellent, and our 10 and 8 year olds enjoyed finding the next audio station for more information. Museum was good, cafe was huge, children’s adventure area great, harbour tour well worth the boat trip and staff friendly and informative everywhere. Look forward to returning within the yearly ticket expiration date.

Full description

Visit HMS Victory, the Royal Navy’s most famous battleship. Best known for her role in the battle of Trafalgar, the Victory is now the flagship of the first sea lord and a living museum to the Georgian Navy. New for 2021, HMS Victory Under Hull Walkway. Visitors can descend into the base of the dry dock and view the ship from below. The ship stands as a memorial to Vice-Admiral Lord Horatio Nelson, Britain’s greatest naval hero, and his victory at the battle of Trafalgar in 1805. Climb aboard HMS Victory and step back in time to the Georgian period. See the cabin where the Battle of Trafalgar was planned. Walk the once crowded decks where over 800 men lived, worked and fought. You can even stand in the spot where Nelson died. HMS Victory is currently undergoing conservation work but is still open, and visitors can experience Victory Live! to find out more about this conservation project.

The website to purchase the tickets was East you navigate and i got the tickets promptly. My only disappointment was that the site visited was unable to easily process the ticket with the QR code provided. There was a long winded process of converting the ticket manually in their computer. Why is the point in having an electronic ticket (bar code or QR) when the site can’t process it. Needs fixing!
