Portsmouth is alive with history, and the visitportsmouth website is full of information on the many places to visit during your stay, such as Southsea Castle, from which Henry VIII watched his beloved Mary Rose sink to the bottom of the Solent. And, of course, there is Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, which houses a number of iconic warships, including HMS Warrior, HMS Victory and HMS Alliance. Not forgetting The Mary Rose, of course, which offers a glimpse into Tudor life, alongside the majestic ship in a new, much more open setting.

If you're looking for a cultural break filled with theatre, film, museums and art there is plenty on offer. All our big theatres are here, including two (the Kings Theatre and New Theatre Royal) that were designed by revered architect Frank Matcham. Portsmouth Guildhall also has live music; the city's gig venues having played host to some of the world's biggest and best-loved acts. We also have an independent cinema in the Portsmouth Historic Dockyard called No. 6 Cinema – an interesting venue and well worth a visit – google them! Albert Road, meanwhile, is the hub of Portsmouth's celebrated independent culture. Offering local shops, pubs, live music venues and more, this truly is a road unlike any other. Victorious Festival held in August every year is something not to be missed and the Studio is an ideal location for this three day event.
