Set in Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, with spectacular views over the harbour, The Mary Rose is enveloped in maritime history and sits right on the water’s edge.
Curators limit the number of events, enhancing exclusivity and, critically, protecting the historically important hull of Henry VIII’s Tudor warship. Of those who host a private dinner, a meeting, a seminar, a celebration, a reception, or a wedding in this world-renowned museum, all say the space is not only exclusive and atmospheric, it is truly unique.
Surrounded by maritime history, the multi-award winning Mary Rose is no ordinary meeting space.
Our Wardroom suite is an ideal location in which to hold a meeting. Guests can also enjoy access to our Bridge Balcony, which offers wonderful views of the ever-changing dockyard.

The staff were fantastic during the planning and on the night. The Museum is very well laid out and very clean. The catering was outstanding – the Canapés were to die for and so beautifully presented.
