Newhaven Fort opens for 2010

Newhaven Fort is open to the public for the 2010 season with an exciting line-up of special events planned throughout the year.

The Fort has been closed over the winter months and staff have been working hard preparing the site and revamping displays.

This year is set to be a busy one. It marks the 70th anniversary of the Dunkirk evacuation and the Battle of Britain taking place. 

To commemorate these momentous events in British history, Newhaven Fort is staging a number of special events and unique exhibitions throughout the year.

The Battle of France and the subsequent evacuation of the British Expeditionary Force from Dunkirk is explored in the newly extended exhibition
'From Declaration to Disaster'.

The exhibition features hundreds of original artifacts, images and documents from the period and is one of the largest collections in the world on public display.

A series of 70th anniversary commemorative events will also take place including a programme of lectures, 1940s themed live jazz evenings, a Battle of Britain Ball and the highlight of our annual calendar, Battle of Britain Day on 12th September.

In addition Newhaven Fort will be hosting an extensive programme of special events throughout the year. From open-air theatre and live music to military re-enactments and children’s activities, during the school holidays.

The official Newhaven Fort website has further information.
