The Trustees of the New Medway Steam Packet Co. (Medway Queen Preservation Society) enthusiastically support the Medway City of Culture 2025 bid and look forward to active cooperation with the bid’s organising team. There is great potential for mutual benefit in our ongoing restoration programmes and the near-future ability to host meetings and events on board Medway’s very own historic steam ship.

With the Covid restrictions still active, and Kent especially badly hit, PS Medway Queen remains closed to visitors and there could not possibly be a Fun Food and Craft event - or anything similar - this year.


Christmas is still approaching, and we all need to get the Christmas shopping done, so we have put our thinking caps on and come up with a "Christmas Market" online. The various goodies on offer come from our online shop or from Medway Queen - West and the links in the "Market" will take you to the appropriate website pages.
​

The BBC Antiques Road Trip episode featuring Medway Queen is available on Iplayer.

The National Historic Ships UK event is also available, on line.

PS Medway Queen has two screen appearances coming up next week.

On Tuesday 10th November she'll be included in National Historic Ships virtual awards ceremony and on Thursday 12th we are told she'll be on the Antiques Road Trip on BBC 1 at 4.30pm.

Here we go again! Once again Medway Queen is closed to visitors due to Covid-19 restrictions. Under the new regulations, effective from Thursday, we are unable to welcome visitors to our Medway Queen Visitor Centre and the ship tours. We will re-open as soon as it is permitted and safe to do so. That could be for Saturdays in December but the situation is fluid so please check the website before visiting. The workshops, too, have closed ​but a watching eye will be kept on the ship and shore facilities. Post and phone etc. will be checked when possible.

​Please do continue to support us in any way that you can.
