Free admission for caretakers (Special Assistance)

We offer carer tickets free of charge if you would feel more comfortable bringing someone to support you and particularly recommend this for visually impaired visitors to help them negotiate some of the uneven flooring and difficult spaces.

Guide-dogs allowed (Animals)

Whilst the military base does not allow animals on site, an exception is made for assistance animals and guide-dogs who are permitted in all areas.

Welcome statement (Mission Statement)

We welcome all visitors to the Dockyard and we have tried to make it as safe as possible. However, some of our attractions are historic buildings and ships, and we know that there can be challenges for some visitors. For those who believe they will be limited in their visit or need extra support we do offer access restriction discounts, free carer tickets and on-site additional support.
