Come and Visit
  • Extra Date! Sun 5th October 10am - 3pm
  • 200 Exhibition – will be held from 13th-28th September. This curated exhibition at Royal William Yard will showcase original artifacts, historical documents, images and art, sourced from The National Archives, Devonport Naval Heritage Centre, Plymouth Proprietary Library, local historians and more. This will sit alongside the content gathered through the 200 Stories campaign.

Both the trail and exhibition will showcase historical insights uncovered during the Yard’s restoration (like the story of the Brewhouse built to fulfil the Navy's beer ration, which was abolished just as construction finished!), plans and drawings by engineering legend Sir John Rennie, and an array of fascinating facts, discoveries and artifacts.

Much of this collection will be on display to the public for the first time, all housed together within Royal William Yard itself.
