Don’t miss the final Pontoon Open Weekend of the year, taking place on Saturday 25 and Sunday 26 October from 10.00am–4.30pm.
As part of this final open weekend, you can also take to the water on a historic boat trip. Choose from:
High Speed Launch 102 – your last chance this year to ride aboard this legendary craft for only £65 per person.
Landing Craft F8 – experience a slice of Falklands history with trips priced at £10 per person or £30 for a family of four.

Don’t miss the SHE_SEES photography exhibition upstairs in Boathouse 4, or pick up free kids’ activity sheets to keep younger visitors entertained. And when it’s time for a break, head to the Boathouse 4 Kitchen, where you can enjoy fresh food and drinks with unbeatable views of the harbour and pontoon.
With so much to see and do — from historic boats and fascinating exhibitions to family activities and food — the Pontoon Open Weekend is the perfect chance to celebrate Portsmouth’s heritage, art, and community.
