Medway Queen Events Diary

Support Group Event Diary

Medway Queen and her visitor centre
OPEN ON SATURDAYS
From Saturday 8th February 2020
​
Please note that mid-week ship tours are currently not possible, but Saturdays are generally unaffected.
Our focus is to refit the upper aft saloon to make it fit for hire as a venue. The work includes a fire resistant bulkhead, fire doors and other precautions, complete electrical upgrade and considerable work on the bench seating. We also have to find a couple of small “pots of gold”!
