Put the Spring back into your step with amazing Easter adventures

Put down the chocolate and get ready to experience the best visitor attraction on the south coast! Portsmouth Historic Dockyard is just a stone’s throw away from Gunwharf Quays and offers a whole new world of underwater exploration – so get the whole family involved and make some memorable moments.  

Explore the incredible Worlds Beneath the Waves and uncover the secrets of the seabed. Create your own unique sea creature using AI or shape the ocean floor using AR technology, all while uncovering the secrets hidden below the waves.  

Speaking of secrets, see the raising of the Mary Rose, told in immersive 4D, with Dive the Mary Rose 4D. Learn how she was able to stay hidden for hundreds of years at the bottom of the Solent and see her awe-inspiring return to the surface, told in stunning detail.  

What’s more, did you know Portsmouth Historic Dockyard is home to not just one, but two, of the largest conservation projects in the UK? Grab your hard hats and get ready to explore Victory Live: The Big Repair. See incredible, once-in-a-lifetime, restoration work happening right in front of you as we protect the nation’s flagship for future generations. Or discover the largest collection of Tudor artefacts in the world, as well as the ship herself, at the Mary Rose Museum.     

Have an Easter full of unexpected experiences, with fresh adventures around every corner, at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard. Our Ultimate Explorer Ticket is the best value for money, giving you access to all our attractions, harbour tour, and waterbus for an entire year.
