HMS Prince of Wales: Tickets and activities happening during visit to Liverpool

Liverpool will welcome the HMS Prince of Wales when it sails into the city on Friday.

Thousands are expected to line the Pier Head to see the 65,000 tonne warship when it docks at Liverpool Cruise Terminal.

Nearly 13,000 free tickets to board the aircraft carrier were given away online within an hour of them going live.

This week, an appeal was launched for people who can no longer use their tickets to give them back after they were inundated with ticket requests.

Last chance for tickets

A very small number of returned tickets will now be available to the public on a first-come first-served basis.

These tickets will be available at 10am today (Wednesday, February 26) via Culture Liverpool or through Ticket Quarter.

At the same time, a small number of accessible tickets will also be released for the 10am session on both Saturday, February 29 and Sunday, March 1.

These do not give access to the ship itself, but give a close-up view of the aircraft carrier.

The only way to secure the accessible tickets is by calling the Ticket Quarter box office on 0344 8000 410 - they will not be available online.

What you can do on the day

For those who have missed out on tickets, you will still be able to feel part of the event as there will be a range of activities happening on the quayside to give you a Royal Navy (RN) experience.

The Royal Navy Village on the waterfront will see the navy with our other armed services and you will be to see a RN dive tank, RN aircraft including a Lynx, Gazelle and Typhoon, plus RN, RAF & Army mobile outreach vehicles.

You can have a go on the inflatable challenge bungy run or try out the army fitness or masterchef challenge.

There will also be unarmed combat and weapons displays from the Royal Marines commando recruiting team as well as RM offshore raiding craft (ORC) and enjoy entertainment from HM Royal Marines Band although a number of these displays are weather dependent.
