Congratulations on your forthcoming wedding and for considering HMS Warrior 1860 as the venue for this special occasion. Warrior is unique and undoubtedly one of the most sought-after locations on the South Coast.

HMS Warrior 1860 is becoming increasingly popular as a wedding venue so an early reservation is strongly recommended, particularly for summer weekends.

A civil wedding ceremony in the United Kingdom must take place between 0800 and 1800 in a licensed area. On board Warrior both the Captain's cabin and the Officers' Half Deck have been selected as suitable for a licence.

Weddings on Board

Are there any restrictions of which we should be aware?

In view of the historic nature and construction of HMS Warrior 1860 smoking is not allowed on board. Smoking is allowed however once completely clear of the ship - i.e. on the jetty. Ladies are requested not to wear shoes with stiletto heels as these are likely to cause damage to the wooden decks.

There must be no confetti or rice on board, nor in the Naval Base. Photography is permitted in the Captain's cabin on the Half Deck and on the Upper and Main Decks at no extra charge provided it is for personal use only.
