The Mary Rose museum offers a fantastic experience for groups of all ages.
The Mary Rose is a window into another time, the world of Henry VIII's England and tells the stories of ordinary people who lived, worked and died onboard this mighty vessel.
Your visit to the Mary Rose not only provides your group with a fun, informative day out, but also helps to fund the work of the Mary Rose Trust, who work constantly to ensure that the ship and her treasures are protected for future generations, as well as our research which is helping other heritage sites around the world
