Fort Brockhurst
Fort Brockhurst, Gunners Way, Gosport, Hampshire, PO12 4DS
The Keep of Fort Brockhurst will be the centre of activity for Heritage Open Days.
The Fort Cumberland Guard, probably the oldest re-enactment unit in the UK, depict Royal Marines of 1830 to 1860 with a corps of drums, infantry and artillery sections. You'll be able to visit their Museum room, speak with the members, examine the uniforms, and get up close to some of their equipment. In a similar way, you can visit displays by Pompey Pals as they remember local people who served in the Military over the last 150 years. Their displays of uniform and equipment are fascinating.
The history of Fort Brockhurst itself will be told by the Volunteers of Fort Brockhurst, who will be delivering short, guided tours of the site throughout the day. Just pop your name on the list on entry for a tour at 1115, 1200, 1300, 1400, or 1500.
Last entry to the fort is at 1500 to allow for an enjoyable experience before the 1600 finish.
