About

Shoreham Fort is one of very few forts that still stands in anything like it's original form. The fort is also known as Kingston or Shoreham Redoubt and was completed in June 1857. Other forts in Sussex are Newhaven Fort over in the East and Littlehampton Fort to the west but the latter is mostly convered in dunes. 

The Friends of Shoreham Fort group continue work to restore the fort's rich history. Thoughout the year they run a number of Fort open days and experience - with the motto "Giving History a Future by Bringing History to Life"

Opening Times:

Like many historically significant venues, Shoreham Fort is a closed site but there are volunteers working on site once a fortnight, on a Saturday. The public are very welcome to join the Friends on these days and as long as there are enough volunteers, Food for Fort will be open for a cuppa or cold drink as will the WWI Nissen hut. On occasion, there may be areas that are off limits, for safety reasons, whilst work is being carried out.

Group tours can be prebooked, as can school visits so please do contact us.

Keep watch on our events page for details about open days.
