A unique and thoroughly enjoyable day out combining two brilliant attractions in one. First, a guided tour of the Call The Midwife filming locations at the Historic Dockyard Chatham, where the much loved BBC drama has been filmed for many years. Fans of the show will instantly recognise the streets, buildings and courtyards that have served as the backdrop to Nonnatus House and the wider world of Poplar, and the guided tour brings the production to life in fascinating detail, with behind the scenes stories and insights that will delight anyone who has followed the series.
And the Historic Dockyard itself is an attraction well worth a full day of anyone’s time, quite apart from the Call The Midwife connection. One of the best preserved naval dockyards in the world, it covers 80 acres of extraordinary maritime history, with historic warships, interactive museums, Victorian ropery and a collection of beautifully restored dockyard buildings that tell the story of Britain’s remarkable naval heritage spanning four centuries.
Whether you come primarily as a fan of the show or as a lover of history, or ideally both, this is a day that offers an enormous amount to see, explore and enjoy. The guided tour is included in the price of your trip.
We pick up from Canterbury, Dover, Faversham and across SE Kent on both our Route 1 and Route 2 coach services. A friendly host is on board throughout, with free soft drinks included on the coach.
