About this space

A preserved 18th-century warship operated as a museum venue. The venue's intact wooden gun decks form the primary character of the interior.

Design: Low ceilings, painted ribs and brass lanterns create an enclosed, maritime interior. Narrow aisles, visible rigging and varnished plank floors give a compact, tactile sense of place.

Features: Onboard Wi‑Fi supports AV and online access. Movable trestle-style tables and bench seating are used for seated layouts. The ship's built-in structural elements and fitted joinery constrain furniture placement and channel circulation, so layouts require planned routing.

Ideal for: Small formal groups and specialist societies seeking seated, communal dining or focused presentations in a compact, characterful historic interior.
