An annual fine dining evening commemorating the Battle of Trafalgar and Vice-Admiral Lord Nelson, featuring a five-course dinner, wine, port, and live music.
Trafalgar Night returns to The Royal Maritime Hotel on Friday 16 October, the hotel's annual dinner held every October in the heart of Portsmouth's historic dockyard quarter. It commemorates the Battle of Trafalgar, fought on 21 October 1805 between the British Royal Navy and the combined fleets of France and Spain during the War of the Third Coalition of the Napoleonic Wars — a victory that cost Vice-Admiral Lord Nelson his life.
The hotel itself has been a home to sailors since 1850, and the evening keeps the tradition of gathering to raise a glass to Nelson and to all who fell alongside him. The night is built around a five-course dinner by Head Chef Peter Ashby, paired with wine and port, with live music running through the evening and a toast to the 'immortal memory'. Every booking supports serving and veteran members of the Royal Navy, Royal Marines and Merchant Navy.
