Our objectives

As custodians of historic buildings, boats and spaces in and around Portsmouth Harbour, we breathe new life into this Naval heritage, creating energy and vibrancy, ensuring that it is sustainable and accessible for all.

We are an ambitious and collaborative charity. We actively create authentic, educational and enjoyable places, experiences and opportunities.

Portsmouth Historic Quarter preserves and develops Portsmouth Harbour’s rich maritime heritage and vibrant culture through building regeneration, boat restoration, volunteer activity and community collaboration.

By connecting people with heritage, arts and culture, we create meaningful opportunities and shared pride in the place we call home.

Our activities

Our Strategic Objectives:

  • To curate Portsmouth Historic Dockyard as a leading destination and strengthen its position as the historic quarter of the city, anchored by key tenants and partners with whom we have a symbiotic relationship. We shall ‘break down the walls’ and create a ‘living breathing dockyard’.
  • To develop Priddy’s Hard into a thriving mixed-use community, acting as a catalyst for regeneration along the Gosport waterfront. Anchored in the heritage of the site, we will open it up to generate income and activity for the area.
