Wednesday Gala Dinner – SS Great Britain

Step aboard history for an unforgettable evening on the iconic SS Great Britain. Your night begins with a warm welcome from none other than Mr. Isambard Kingdom Brunel himself, before you’re invited to enjoy a welcome drink and wander through the beautifully restored decks of Bristol’s most celebrated ship.

As the sun sets over the harbour, guests will gather for an elegant three‑course dinner served in the heart of this extraordinary vessel. It’s a rare chance to dine where Victorian travellers once stood, immerse yourself in the ship’s colourful past, and experience a truly unique Bristol landmark in all its glory.
