Step behind the mask

See in 2027 in style

After our summer Masquerade Ball sold out, we're bringing the magic back for New Year's Eve at the Royal Maritime Hotel, Portsmouth.

Enjoy a three-course dinner by Chef Peter Ashby, then let our DJ fill the dance floor as we count down to midnight. We'll raise a glass of sparkling wine at 11.55pm to toast the New Year, and serve warm bacon rolls at 12.30am to keep the party going.

Any surplus supports our charitable work for serving and veteran members of the Royal Navy, Royal Marines and Merchant Navy and seafarers.
