🎁 Portsmouth Historic Dockyard is a registered charity, using the money it generates to safeguard and share the incredible objects and stories within the collection. As a charity it treats all tickets as charitable donations known as Gift Aid.

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.
