HMS Belfast and the Korean War

Groups and Schools

Discover a unique historic environment. Film, photographs, objects and veteran testimonies tell the story of what life was like living and working on board HMS Belfast during her duties in the Second World War, the Cold War, Korea and beyond.

All groups and schools must book in advance and pay on arrival.

Allow at least 90 minutes to explore the ship. Extra care must be taken when walking around HMS Belfast with only two decks that can be accessed without climbing or descending ladders. We suggest outdoor clothing and flat shoes should be worn. For more information see Accessibility.

Adult and HE groups

Groups of ten or more adults are eligible for reduced rates on standard admission prices. Audio guides are included. The group leader is offered free admission. For an additional charge, learn more about HMS Belfast with a presentation. Find out more or request an ADULT and HE booking form.

For a more exclusive visit book one of our private tours.
