Anchors Aweigh! Pickle Night Returns Aboard HMS Warrior for 2025

Step aboard HMS Warrior for another unforgettable Pickle Night, where history, tradition, and camaraderie come together in a truly nautical celebration.

Join us as we commemorate the Battle of Trafalgar and the legendary HMS Pickle, the swift vessel that carried news of victory—and the loss of Admiral Lord Nelson—to British shores.

What is a Pickle Night?

Pickle Night honours the arrival of HMS Pickle, delivering news of the victory of the Battle of Trafalgar and the death of Admiral Lord Nelson. This festive occasion, observed on and around 4th November, celebrates the fastest ship at Trafalgar.
