End
An evening aboard Cutty Sark, after the daytime visitors have gone home.
Nominet is bringing members of the .UK community together for its Members’ Festive Social in Greenwich. Expect private access to the historic ship, stories from her voyages, food and drinks, and time to catch up with familiar faces or meet fellow members.
When and where
- Date: Wednesday 9 December 2026
- Time: 7pm to 11pm, UK time
- Venue: Cutty Sark, Greenwich, London
- Organiser: Nominet
- Attendance: Nominet members, who may bring one eligible business guest or partner
What’s planned
- After-hours access to Cutty Sark, away from the daytime crowds.
- Small-group tours across the historic decks, with actors bringing the ship’s people, voyages and dramatic moments to life.
- Themed food stations inspired by China and the tea trade, alongside festive dishes and drinks.
- Music and entertainment beneath the ship’s suspended hull.
- An informal opportunity to exchange ideas and catch up with people from across the .UK community.
Built in Scotland in 1869 for the China tea trade, Cutty Sark later became renowned for her fast passages carrying Australian wool. The ship’s decks, rigging and suspended hull make this a setting with plenty to explore beyond the usual drinks reception.
