The Chatham Historic Dockyard Trust is inviting all University staff to join a free preview tour of a new visitor experience at The Historic Dockyard, Chatham.

The brand new ‘Command of the Oceans’ visitor experience features four superb new interactive galleries, two significant archaeological discoveries, a new children’s play area and a restored historic environment. Command of the Oceans has the latest design technology that will take you on a voyage back to the ‘Age of Sail’.

The free preview tours take place on Tuesday 24 May 2016 from 11:00 – 13:00 and
Wednesday 25 May 2016 from 10:00 – 14:00.

The Dockyard Trust would be delighted if you would become a Critical Friend. A Critical Friend is someone who is encouraging and supportive, but who also provides honest and candid feedback!

The Trust would welcome your views to ensure that every visit in the future is an exceptional one for all. At the end of your visit, they will ask you to  give  valuable feedback and your opinion of your experience. The Trust would like to hear what you thought about everything – from car parking to the new visitor reception, shop, restaurant, facilities and customer care. They will be testing everything which will be new to us too, so your feedback will help us be ready for opening to the public.

Spaces will be allocated on a FIRST COME FIRST SERVED basis and the Trust will endeavour to offer other dates later in the year for those unable to visit this time.

This opportunity includes the  new ‘Mess Deck’ restaurant and, to tempt you to test this, the Trust is pleased to offer 50% off food and drink.

To register please email events@chdt.org.uk providing your name, guest names (up to five guests), address, telephone number and company name/group – the Trust will confirm whether your application is successful via an email.
