🎄⚓ Christmas on HMS Warrior

Step aboard HMS Warrior for a heart-warming Victorian Christmas experience, including a meeting with Father Christmas!

Wander the decks and experience the warmth and wonder of a Victorian Christmas on HMS Warrior, where lantern-lit paths and festive garlands invite you back to the traditions of yesteryear. Feel the spirit of camaraderie as you join Victorian sailors in song and discover the festive customs that brought cheer to the crew on chilly winter nights. For a taste of true Victorian holiday cheer, adults are invited to savour our finest rum, while children can enjoy the flavours of a traditional non-alcoholic treat, dandelion and burdock.

Then, join the merriment as the crew prepare their delightful ‘Grand Christmas Entertainment’, a new 2025 tradition brimming with laughter, cheer, and nautical nonsense! At the end of your adventure, step into the Captain’s Cabin, where Father Christmas himself awaits to share a festive Victorian gift with each child and hear what they are hoping for this Christmas.

Christmas Ships is included with a valid museum ticket.
