This November HMS Caroline is opening its doors for free to all National Lottery players as a way of saying thank you for your support.
From 25 November to 1 December, HMS Caroline will be taking part in the National Lottery’s ‘thanks to you’ campaign, where we will be offering free entry on board the ship to anyone with a valid lottery ticket or scratch card.
Yesterday the launch of new exhibition at the Fleet Air Arm Museum in Somerset saw veterans from the Women’s Royal Naval Service (WRNS) gather alongside invited guests to celebrate the work of women in the Royal Navy over more than 250 years – and included a surprise reunion of two veterans after almost 80 years.

Mini sailors stormed the new play ship at the National Museum of the Royal Navy as soon as it was launched on Friday 2 August 2019.
Rope ladders were scaled, swings flown high, carousels whizzed round and pirates escaped down slides as the ship set sail for foreign shores.
Toddlers loved their very own mini sailing ship complete with slides and ladders of their own. The low-level, inclusive carousel which accommodates wheelchairs was also a big hit.
Emily Wallace (5) from Billingham said: “I liked the big yellow slide because we went very very fast!”.
