🎁 Portsmouth Historic Dockyard Operations Limited operates Portsmouth Historic Dockyard as a visitor attraction, and the revenue from both ticket sales and gift aid donations are split between the National Museum of the Royal Navy (registered charity no. 1126283) and the Mary Rose Trust (registered charity no. 1415654).
A Gift Aid ticket purchased by a UK taxpayer means that the Museum can also reclaim 25p tax for every £1 spent. As a charity every penny counts and your purchase is crucial in supporting our work. A Gift Aid donation is subject to specific terms and conditions and is therefore not eligible for a refund.
If you do not want your admission to be considered a charitable donation you can buy a non Gift Aid ticket by clicking here.
