We've got some planned work to carry out on our website tonight, so tickets can't be purchased for any of our museums or attractions after 8pm. You'll still be able to buy onsite as usual tomorrow.
We are currently experiencing technical issues with our telephone lines and online ticketing platform. We are working hard behind the scenes to restore them but please email [email protected] with any urgent queries.

As a mark of respect, all our sites will be closed to visitors tomorrow as we join the rest of the country and the world in reflecting on Her Majesty The Queen's incredible contribution and enduring legacy.

#OnThisDay 1861 HMS Warrior was commissioned - 161 years ago. She was one of the world鈥檚 most heavily armoured and largest warships ever constructed. Her innovative design sparked a naval arms race which saw her become outdated and decommissioned in 1883.

Today is International Non-Binary Peoples Day. To celebrate this day we have done some research into the origins of the flag and the use of They/Them pronouns!

The quiet waters and tranquillity of Scapa Flow are rocked by an old torpedo, safely blown up by RN bomb disposal experts from @RN_DTXG after a three-day operation in Orkney which protected underwater pipelines, cables and wildlife.

Sailors, soldiers and airmen who provide vital support to the RN鈥檚 operations in the Gulf were shown the impact of their efforts when @HMSMiddleton took them to sea.
Her crew gave landlocked personnel from Bahrain an insight into minehunting ops.

In a first for the @RoyalNavy, @HMSMontrose seized smuggled Iranian missiles in international waters south of Iran.

The #RoyalNavy is making strides to becoming a greener fleet. The fleet of the future will have the latest weaponry and sensors but also built with the environment in mind. Bases like @HMNBPortsmouth are also making changes to be more green
