Entire Venue at The Lightship
About this space
Moored gracefully on the Solent and steeped in maritime charm, The Lightship is a beautifully restored 1940s vessel. Glorious views across the water, accompanied by the iconic Gunwharf Quays skyline.
With room for 80 to savour a seated feast or 200 to mingle in joyous motion, the space breathes with the rhythm of the occasion. We can make available a spread of dining choices bespoke to you - let us know what you fancy, and our events coordinator will be on hand throughout to cater to your needs.
The lightship has two fully licensed bars with delicious cocktails and wines for you to all enjoy; with one bar overlooking the Solent, you can have a tasty cocktail whilst the sun sets overlooking the Solent! Our middle deck contains our restaurant and bar area which can hold up to 60 people whilst our upper open plan deck with a bar overlooking the Solent can hold around 120 guests.
We have a dedicated events team on hand to assist throughout; don't hesitate to get in contact!
