Such a great experience, to see so many happy people, with army uniforms in old period style, would be great in summer, Lots of parking as well
Only open on selected days so check the website before going. Only downside on the day we visited was a lack of toilets on site. But the rest of it was brilliant. The guides on site were very approachable and friendly. Such a fantastic place to spend time. We will definitely return for musket demonstrations and more exploring soon. Free to park and enter although contributions are welcomed.
Beautiful Fort! Lovely to see it all.
Not really pram- or wheelchair-friendly though!
Quite a well preserved big castle, shame that it only opens on the second and fourth Saturday during summer, so really limits your dates to visit. Very standard star forts with exhibits of cannons, military equipment and a nice walk up the elevated fort. Would recommend if you have the time to visit during these specified times
Paid £1 to get in. Thoroughly enjoyed visiting here. Full of history and this particular day was full of reenactments
Great piece of history that you can walk around and learn about very easy access, would recommend walking to as parking can be abit sparse but it is a great day out! Plus the fairs they do within the fort are well worth going too!
I took my Granddaughter to the advertised Christmas Fayre today, the event was advertised as been on between 10:00-16:00. We arrived at 15:15 and were refused entry as we were told the stall holders had finished and were going home, I said that was strange as the event was advertised to be finishing at 16:00, the lady then said that the last admission was to be 15:30, which I said great to as I pointed out that it was only 15:15, another lady then said no the last admission was 15:15, again I said great as its 15:15 now, but again I was refused entry.
I was very disappointed by the very strange and very changing conversation as to when the event was due to close and that the stall holders had gone home????
As for my distraught Granddaughter words cannot cover her disappointment at what would have been the start of her festive period.
If you are going to not tell the truth, then get your stories right!!!!
And correctly advertise your event times!!!!
A great place to visit with lots of history on view. Built between 1858-62 this is one of Palmerston's forts to defend Portsmouth. There are lots of things to explore, including exhibits, and is a great place to have a picnic too. There is a moat going around the fort that can be fished. There is a car park close to the entrance and was easy enough to park there (please note that there is only the lower parts of the fort accessible to the disabled). A wonderful day out and all completely free of charge!
