Delighted to be working with the Fort team & exhibition designers Form At Large on this fantastic project ⁦Newhaven Fort⁩ to reopen next February after £7.5m restoration - Museums + Heritage museumsandheritage.com/advisor/posts/…

Although our doors are closed for restoration, we’re still busy doing outreach sessions in the community!   Our collections custodian Frankie enjoyed a warm welcome from F.O.B.S for his talk about HMS Forward - the secret WWII intelligence centre hidden in South Heighton.

#DidYouKnow?   ⚔️We’re Sussex’s largest ever defence structure. 👷Designed by a 22-year-old in 1862, it took 10 years to build.   We’re uniquely integrated into land, rather than built overground like a traditional fort.   Find out more: newhavenfort.org.uk/about-us/newha…

It’s been five months since our restoration began… 👷   The scaffolding is starting to come down, the space has been cleared for our new adventure playground, and the Romney Hut is almost complete. 🧱 Read more in Newhaven Matters on page 6: bit.ly/4duCjJx
