The Historic Dockyard Chatham

About

Step into the heart of Chatham’s legendary ship building heritage and return to the ‘Age of Sail’, when the Dockyard built mighty ships that won command of the world’s oceans.

The Historic Dockyard Chatham has a programme of events and activities that changes throughout the seasons. Please visit the website for the latest programme. Annual events include Salute to the ‘40s and the Festival of Steam & Transport.
