Frequently asked questions

What are the arrangements for food and drink during the day?

Your ticket entitles you to a free hot or cold drink on arrival. The kitchen will be open for the rest of the day so you can make yourself tea or coffee. Please bring your own lunch - there is plenty of sace inside and outside the Hall.

Is it suitable for all ages ?

There is no age restriction, but the material presented, is for an audience of adults interested in maritime history. It is therefore likely that children under 13 would find the content harder to understand.
