The ship that changed the world
Step aboard Bristol’s legendary steamship, historic dockyard, world-class collection & museums – where Brunel’s genius reshaped history and touched thousands of lives.
Explore the historic dockyard, dry dock, award-winning museum and iconic ship.
Our Dockyard Museum is temporarily closed for major redevelopment. A brand-new museum experience will dock in July 2026. Support the SS Great Britain Experience and be part of the new museum transformation by stepping into history.
Food & Drink
Enhance your visit with a stop at our waterside dining venue, The Board Walk. Overlooking Bristol’s Floating Harbour, we’re serving up freshly ground coffees, seasonal dishes made with the finest British ingredients, and hand-crafted cocktails.
Open Tue – Sun
All Hands On Deck
We need All Hands On Deck to complete our new museum. With most funding in place, we’re now raising the final £180,000 and calling on supporters everywhere to help bring these incredible stories to life.
