Shoreham Fort HOD Tours

Architecture... What a great theme to have for this year's Heritage Open Days Festival...

Not only can we share with you Shoreham Fort's amazing examples from the innovative Victorians, we can't wait to also share the phenomenal plans for Shoreham Fort's future.

A local volunteer will take you on a guided tour of Shoreham Fort, bringing to life it's past and sharing it's unique and diverse history and being a prototype to the Palmerston Forts it will explain the design flaws in Littlehampton Fort which were corrected here with us at Shoreham. It will take you into the last useable First World War Nissen Hut in the country which in itself has a pretty impressive architectural style. Even our officially registered WWI War Memorial has more to it than meets the eye.

Places are limited so book in quick...

See you there...

Accessibility details

Shoreham Fort is privately owned and the landowners have fenced the site. There are large steps up to the gun emplacements and two small flights of steps down into the South Caponier. Numbers are restricted to this part of the tour so groups will be split. 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 (weather permitting) for just £1.00. 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.
