Britannia Royal Naval College (BRNC) Dartmouth op

Dartmouth has been the home of Royal Navy Officer training since 1863 and we continue to share a close and special bond with the town, local area and wider Royal Navy. By opening our doors to the public, we hope to strengthen these ties, continue to build upon our shared interests and thank the local community for their continued support.

We will host a wide variety of local businesses, groups, charities and organisations, as well as various affiliated Naval parties, in order to not only proudly display what we do, but also to thank the community and organisations that help us do it.

Food and refreshments will be available, provided by our own suppliers, ESS, and local businesses, along with entertainment for all ages.

A FULL EVENTS PROGRAMME WILL BE PUBLISHED IN DUE COURSE. THIS WILL BE PUBLISHED AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE, IN THE AGENDA TAB, AND ALSO RELEASED, ON THE DAY, INSIDE A FREE EVENTS PROGRAMME.

We will be showcasing our world-leading facilities and training, both of which ensure that the Royal Navy remains a cutting-edge force for good. Above all else it will be an opportunity to meet the staff and officer cadets, that live, work and train here; making BRNC what it is today.

We look forward to seeing you there!
