Groups

Information for groups

If you plan to visit as a group (10 or more persons) we can organise a visit to fit in with the time you have available. To make the most of your visit we recommend that you take in a guided tour, dramatic interpretation and a daily gun firing.

Tours

Public tours are available daily, but you can book a dedicated group guide in advance (charge applies). The maximum number per guide is 25 persons, larger groups will be split.

Drama

Meet a WWII commando on a daring raid or re-live the smoke and fire of a gundeck aboard a man o’ war at Trafalgar. Our professional costumed actors bring to life these and many other gripping experiences from the past.

There are four performances throughout the day or why not have a personal interpretation especially for your group (charge applies).

Special Events

Groups benefit from discounts on our special event days. These must be booked at least 14 days in advance.
