Fort ready for new visitor season

The imposing 130 year-old, iron-clad doors of the fort, built to keep out invaders, will be unbolted, unlocked and swung open to welcome the first visitors of the new season.

The Newhaven Fort team have spent the winter months working hard to make the 2007 season exciting and appealing for all the family.

The programme of special events begins with a fascinating talk about the celebrated female WW2 correspondent and photographer Lee Miller on Sunday, March 11.

Also scheduled throughout the season is the open-air theatre production by Oddsocks, Easter and Halloween trails & workshops, vintage car rallies, a Christmas fair, Battle of Britain Day - with a fly past and jive dancers - and the hugely popular Fort Rox music festival.
