Shoreham Fort - Giving History a Future by Bringing History to Life

Shoreham Fort will once again buzz with activity as the military vehicles roll into place on this Saturday morning bringing with them living history groups, including the Royal Sussex Living History Group, to put on displays in and around the fort. Why not Join the WWI Trench Experience in our War Memorial Trench, dedicated in 2022 as part of the Heritage Open Day Festival.

So come and travel through time with us from the Victorian era through to WWII as we bring history to life. A great, free day out for all the family to be involved in and a perfect way to find out more about what the future holds for Shoreham Fort.

Accessibility details

Shoreham Fort is privately owned, and the landowners have fenced the site. There are large steps up to the gun emplacements. As the site is a Scheduled Monument, we must ask that children are supervised at all times. Climbing on areas of the fort, other than the steps, is not permitted. Uncovered foundations create a small area of uneven ground, but these are very obvious.

Additional information

Food for Fort is our little tea hut (White Beach Hut) which serves hot and cold drinks, snacks, and ice creams. All proceeds from Food for Fort are invested back into the charity for the maintenance and conservation of the site, as well as enhancing our outreach and education programme.
