Top Event venues in Portsmouth, United Kingdom

Absolutely brilliant, one of the best museums I've visited. History bought to life, with interesting staff/volunteers in period dress telling the story of The Mary Rose & it's contents.

Amazing experience, it's been a childhood dream to see her, watched as a child being raised from the Solent, will definitely be back to further explore. The staff were all very helpful with knowledge and making everything easier to follow. Thank you x 😁

Very good museum for everyone. Very informative, and all of the exhibits are real items from the ship and not replicas. I got to handle a few of the items from the ship, a brick from one of the stoves, a large piece of rope, and a piece of oak decking. The 4D film was good too as I remember watching the ship on TV being brought to the surface. Well worth the visit.

The recovered and preserved wreck of a ship from the time of King Henry VIII. Besides the remains of the wreck (not in the best condition...) you can see a lot of things recovered from it, such as cannons, weapons, personal items, human skeletons or even the skeleton of a dog that lives on the ship. A lot of explanations, which help you understand what life was like on board the ship, what and how those people ate, what diseases they suffered from. A very hard work done by the restorers, historians and the rest of the team that set up the museum!

Since I was a teenager, it has been my dream to visit Mary Rose. Love Tudor history ❤️ so it was a privilege to see her in real life. Wow, I can just imagine what a great powerful ship she was. And how puzzling to why she sank so close to Portsmouth docks for hundreds of years 🤔 without anyone knowing. It's still a puzzle today. My heart goes to those who died. Only 35 survived out of around 500. There are 3 levels. All by lift, so pushchairs and wheelchair friendly. Toilets top floor too. Once on the top floor, you see Mary Rose in flesh. That smell just hits you(such a strange tar smell) it made me feel sombre and gave me chills. The 4d drive experience was amazing to experience when they found her and how they recovered her. So if you haven't visited yet. Go and see our Tudor beauty that our King Henry VIII. Once stood and our Queen Elizabeth I also. History to remember forever.

Loved visiting the Marie Rose. Stunning exhibition. Did the harbour tour as well. Well worth every penny spent. Lunch there was good too. Very educational for the kids too.

She is such a unique time capsule. It is an extremely well organised and entertaining exhibition. Lot to see and read about the ship. Amazingly preserved and restored items used by the crew on Mary Rose despite being under the sea for hundreds of years. The 4D cinema provides more details of how the ship was found and raised from the bottom of the sea to the visitors.

Our bus from Southampton was late so we only had two hours to visit the Portsmouth historic dock. We chose this as the one attraction to see and it did not disappoint.

Really well put together museum. The huge original ship remains are the centre of the museum with several rooms in the huge four storey space around the remains. I loved how it was laid out, with all the artifacts being on the floor they were originally located in. The top floor you could hear wind and noises like you were out at sea, a really nice touch.

Such a trove of artifacts and the ship itself was amazing to see. Probably the closest I have felt to having a connection to a historic place as everything was original and so well preserved.
