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.

Youth groups of 15 people or more benefit from a reduction on our admission price and group leaders get in free. We ask that all groups book their visit in advance and pay on arrival (in a single transaction).

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