This is in Portsmouth

Yes, you pay £3 to use the car park - even if you just want to sit in your car and admire the view.

Many thanks for your question - as previous answers have indicated unfortunately you cannot see the sculpture from the car park. The tip of it can be seen from a public footpath to the north of the Fort however if that's of any help!

Hi - many thanks for your question. The museum itself is free admission, however we have had to invest heavily in our car parking facilities to cope with the demand for 'Poppies: Wave'! Therefore there is currently a £3.00 car parking charge if you do use the car park on site. Hope to see you soon!

Hello and thanks for the question! We have just completed some substantial improvements to our grass overflow car park to allow as many visitors to visit us during the summer months as possible. Due to that work we are currently charging a £3.00 car parking fee for all car parking including blue badge holders. However admission to the museum is absolutely free and that includes (until June 24th) the installation of 'Poppies Wave'. The car park does get very busy at the moment so my suggestion, if you are able to, would be to visit mid-week and either arrive as we open at 10.00 - or perhaps after 14.30 (we close at 17.00). That would help you avoid the rush! Many thanks

I haven’t done it myself but it’d be about 25 minutes uphill walk- not sure if there’s a footpath on Nelson Lane.

Many thanks to all for the responses above! My apologies for the delay in replying myself. Being a Victorian Fort it is fair to say that the level of accessibility is not how we would ideally like it to be. Having said that whilst some areas are inaccessible most areas can be accessed and I like to think that our staff will assist in any way possible to facilitate your visit. Some gallery spaces are accessible but narrow however most chairs/buggies seem to be able to gain access. The café is situated in a modern visitor centre where access has obviously been factored into the design. I do hope you visit and look forward to seeing you! Nigel

Good morning! Unfortunately dogs are not allowed within the visitor centre or the museum I'm afraid - although assistance dogs are admissible. However there is a ditch that surrounds the Fort which is very popular with dog walkers and so by all means explore that area! Many thanks, Nigel

Hi Deborah, yes we are open 7 days a week - the only days we close are Christmas Eve, Christmas Day & Boxing Day - although if the snow is bad we have closed then as well! During the summer months the Museum opens every day at 10.00 and closes at 17.00. Hope this helps and we look forward to seeing you! Nigel
