Cutty Sark at
Royal Museums of Greenwich

Over 150 years old, Royal Museums Greenwich’s Cutty Sark is a celebrated sailing tea clipper and a truly awe inspiring event space. Part of a collection of five iconic museums – which includes the National Maritime Museum, Queen’s House, the Royal Observatory and the Peter Harrison Planetarium – Cutty Sark stands out as the only one of her kind still remaining in the world and the only place where you can celebrate events underneath a ship. Located in the heart of UNESCO World Heritage Site Maritime Greenwich, the ship has a unique place not only in London but in the World. An ambitious feat of architectural engineering has lifted Cutty Sark 3 metres into the air above her dry dock creating a truly awe-inspiring event space directly underneath her colossal hull. Up to 270 guests can dine directly underneath the 963 tonne ship suspended above them, with natural daylight flooding through and event lighting reflecting off her copper hull. The world’s largest collection of Merchant Navy figureheads decorates one end of the space and forms an incomparable backdrop to any band or DJ. The space offers flexibility and versatility, allowing clients to design their space.

The ship has four additional unique event spaces for the guests to enjoy. Clients can enjoy drinks on the Weather Deck enjoying break taking sweeping views across the River Thames of the Isle of Dogs and the City of London. The Master’s Saloon on the Weather Deck offers a private dining experience for 10 using the very table the Captain would have used to entertain guests at port. The ‘Tween deck with its bowed floor, interactive displays and rocking benches all providing the illusion of being at sea offer an experiential reception space for 100. The Lower Hold deck is home to the only historic ship theatre in the world and is available for awards, presentations and speeches.

Royal Museums Greenwich Events Team are proud that Cutty Sark is sponsoring the award for Best Diversity and Inclusion as they work tirelessly to ensure that the ship can be enjoyed by its daytime and event guests alike. Whilst acting as custodians of this historic ship, they take their responsibility to ensure all visitors receive the same excellent, inclusive experience from our events. To find out more about how they work to offer inclusivity across all their event spaces, reach out to the RMG Events team.
