Partners gathered in front of HMS GANNET, a proud  symbol of the town’s maritime heritage

Chatham has a powerful story to tell, shaped by 400 years of innovation, craftmanship and rich maritime heritage. The Dockyard’s service deserves national recognition for helping to define Britain's Maritime story.

The campaign, led by Chatham Historic Dockyard Trust, with support from Medway Council and a coalition of cultural partners was unveiled on the 24 February 2026 at The Historic Dockyard Chatham.

The Medway conservatives are proud to support this campaign. If successful, up to £3m will be invested in local events and community projects in 2028, creating opportunities and showcasing what makes this place special.

Have your say and tell us why Chatham deserves the title:
