HMS Victory
You are invited to join with the National Museum of the Royal Navy and participate in an exclusive event that very few people have experienced since 1765. Located in the heart of the Naval Base, and the oldest ship in commission in the world, HMS Victory reflects a heritage and prestige seldom found elsewhere. HMS Victory is now available for privileged evening hire, and is able to accommodate up to 150 guests in a variety of spaces. The Quarterdeck, or Upper Gun Deck, will accommodate 150 for a reception, the Lower Gun Deck up to 90 for a dinner, and Nelson’s Great Cabin up to 20. Nelson’s Great Cabin is the ‘Jewel in the Crown’ of what HMS Victory has to offer. You can have exclusive access to parts of the ship not open to the public and dine in exactly the spot that Nelson lived, dined and entertained over 200 years ago. This was where Nelson formulated his plans to defeat the French and Spanish fleets, giving rise to ‘The Nelson Touch’ and on that fateful morning of Monday 21st October 1805 where Nelson composed his famous and inspiring prayer. The Lower Gun Deck allows guests the chance to dine at mess tables, where in the past the crew of Victory would have eaten their rations, slung between the 32-pounder guns. These were Victory’s heaviest guns, each weighing in at 3.75 tons, including their carriage. HMS Victory is also open to visitors at certain times during the year.
