There are fifteen disabled spaces available in the Portsmouth Historic Dockyard car park, located in Admiralty Road approximately 400 metres from the dockyard entrance.

Unfortunately there is no on-site parking for the Mary Rose museum. 

The Historic Dockyard site and the museum itself are fully accessible by wheelchair, and the museum houses a wheelchair accessible toilet.

Lifts are available to move along the visitor route.

We have a number of wheelchairs available on site to ensure all areas are accessible.

The Mary Rose Museum is located 500m (550 yds.) from the entrance to Portsmouth Historic Dockyard.

If you are visiting the Mary Rose and unable to walk up the site, we can come and pick you up from the entrance gate in our buggy, provided by Motorculture Ltd, with a grant from the Boshier-Hinton Foundation.

The buggy runs most days. If you would like to use this service, please enquire when you arrive at our Visitor Centre. Booking in advance is not necessary.
