Portsmouth Naval Base Property Trust

Who we are

As custodians of historic buildings, boats and spaces in and around Portsmouth Harbour, Portsmouth Naval Base Property Trust breathes new life into this Naval heritage, creating energy and vibrancy, ensuring that it is sustaina-ble and accessible for all.

We are an ambitious and collaborative charity. We actively create authentic, educational and enjoyable places, experiences and opportunities.We play a vital and creative role in the conservation, regeneration and interpretation of our two sites, the Portsmouth Historic Dockyard and Priddy’s Hard in Gosport, working to preserve the historic fabric of the sites as well as enhancing understanding of the people who built, lived, and worked in the area. We work in partnership with tenants and key stakeholders on both sites to bring these places to life.

As well as buildings, we restore and operate a flotilla of historically significant vessels, ranging from a D-Day motor gunboat to a Boer War steam cutter. As an organisation we are a property regeneration agency, a landlord and an asset manager, and a cultural leader. The Trust currently has 35 paid employees and over 100 volunteers.
