Welcome to HMS Trincomalee, the oldest British warship afloat, berthed at Jackson Dock, within Hartlepool's Maritime Experience in North East England.

Come and experience life on board this fast, sleek fighting machine, the most advanced of its age, manned by a breed of hardy sailors well used to the long months at sea and able to fight like lions. Little wonder that they were known as 'wooden ships and iron men'.

WEDDINGS

HMS Trincomalee is a unique and increasingly sought after wedding venue in North East England. On board, our Captain's Cabin is licenced for civil wedding ceremonies. With impressive views across Jackson Basin and Hartlepool Marina, this romantic cabin can seat up to 75 guests comfortably for the ceremony.

CORPORATE HIRE

There are two areas available for hire. Firstly, the superb and unique Captain's Cabin on the Gun Deck will accommodate up to 75 people seated theatre style for, presentations or talks, and 35 for a silver-service function.

The atmospheric Mess Deck, with low deck heights, subdued lighting and traditional mess tables, will permit a seated function for up to 80 people. A meal on the Mess Deck is always a unique and evocative experience.

In addition, the Captain's Cabin can also accommodate AV projection equipment, though the size of screens that can be set up and the range of projection are limited by space - contact us for specifications.

Please note that HMS Trincomalee cannot supply any AV equipment, although multiple power sockets are available. Any equipment brought onto the ship must be PAT tested and within the certification period.
