Christmas 2008 @ HMS Belfast
About Christmas 2008 @ HMS Belfast
Exclusive parties are available at this venue.This is the only venue where you can celebrate a traditional naval Christmas in the heart of London. HMS Belfast was saved for the nation in 1971 and is the only surviving example of the great fleets of big armoured warships. She is preserved in her traditional naval glory and her rooms maintain their original splendour, thus allowing you to recreate the celebrations which took place on board throughout the ship's service. Take the opportunity to be piped on board in traditional naval style. This will guarantee a grand entrance for your guests, reminiscent of the arrival of the Admiral himself. HMS Belfast veterans can take your group on a tour of the ship before dinner, whilst talking about first-hand experiences of their time at sea. Food will be served by stewards in traditional jackets with epaulettes and gold buttons. A selection of naval rum punch, fine wines, champagne and even hot toddies can be served throughout the evening to create a truly Unique event.
