HMS Belfast

If you want a slightly more original and unique wedding venue you may be interested in the HMS Belfast. It’s the old World War two battleship. It has since been preserved and is now used as a museum to show the interior of the old ship. It still contains all the battle gear and if it’s a ‘military’ wedding then this might be the best place you could possibly have it.

It is probably best for smaller weddings, as the amount of people would have to be slightly limited.
