After being closed for three years, the HMS Caroline opens her doors on Saturday April 1. HMS Caroline is the last known surviving ship from the First World War’s 1916 Battle of Jutland – considered by many as one of the largest and most significant in naval history.

HMS Caroline’s Easter weekend activities will delight families and especially children with Easter treats and surprises taking place from April 7-10.
