About this event

Hear about how this victualling yard developed over time from the mid-1700s, with a focus on the supply of food and drink to the Royal Navy (it was once referred to as 'the larder of the Navy'), and with associated inventions and innovations. You'll learn about the buildings and stories of areas as you pass through, and enjoy a peppering of anecdotes about the people who have lived and worked within the yard.

Heritage Open Days is England's biggest heritage festival, this year on 12th - 21st September. It celebrates our fantastic history, architecture and culture; offering people the chance to see hidden places and try out new experiences - all of which are FREE to explore. 

After a first pilot in Gosport proved a success, Heritage Open Days was established in 1994 as England’s contribution to the European Heritage Days.

We welcome people from near and far to join in and explore the wealth of heritage in Gosport; our little town with a big history.
