Women’s lives in WW2

Join us at the entrance to the castle on 16 September at either 11am or 1:30pm. Spaces are limited so booking is essential. Talks last approx 1 hour.
Built by Henry VIII to defend the shores, this Tudor fortress has withstood two world wars, a lengthy siege and centuries of coastal drama. Today, it’s your turn to storm the ramparts, race through hidden tunnels, and uncover the castle’s wartime secrets. With grassy lawns for picnics, sweeping views, and impressive historic guns, it’s the perfect place for a full day of discovery.
