Notes for Visitors:
Disabled access is limited and access to the ship depends on the tides. It may also occasionally be necessary to close the ship to visitors because of the restoration work. Group bookings can usually only be accommodated on Saturdays at present due to work on the ship. Book in advance by calling Pam Bathurst on 01843 227941 or use the contact form below. The Medway Queen’s visitor centre showcases the history of the ship to enhance your admission to and support of the vessel’s renovation.
Artefacts and ephemera from the Medway Queen's long career are on display. It's a great place to start your journey, to learn about the vessel and all aspects of her service in Kent, at war and on the Isle of Wight. |
