Facilities
Audio Guides
An audio guide highlight tour of HMS Belfast provides insight into this historic ship. Hear battle stories from the Second World War and beyond – the convoys in icy arctic conditions, the bombardment of German defences on D-Day and the 404 days spent patrolling waters during the Korean War. Audio guides are free for every visitor (available in English, French, German and Spanish). A family audio guide is also available.
Visiting with Bags, Luggage and Young Children
We‘re sorry, but as an historic site we don’t have available space for cloakrooms or luggage areas. Our corridors are narrow, so please try not to bring rucksacks or other large items with you – they will spoil the enjoyment of your experience! HMS Belfast is accessible to parents with prams, pushchairs and strollers throughout ‘2’ deck, the main passage way through the ship where the crew’s living areas are found.
Eating and Drinking
The Walrus Café serves a variety of hot and cold snacks, meals, drinks, sandwiches and confectionery.
Toilets
Accessible toilets are available.
