It's been a busy few weeks here, preparing for our up and coming Kickstarter launch of our souvenir guide book.
We're hoping that this can be used to fund a design and initial print run of a souvenir guidebook all about the Fort. Including a brief tour, history about the fort, the film studio, the Forts role in both wars, and more, we really hope that this will be a guidebook that can be enjoyed by all ages.
Please support our kickstarter campaign and support your Fort.
And here it is: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/403861775/shoreham-fort-souvenir-guide

Volunteers
People are genuinely surprised when we tell them how few volunteers we have that come on site on a regular basis to help maintain and conserve the site for the enjoyment of the public.
If you think you would like to get involved with this amazing project then please do get in touch via enquiries@shorehamfort.co.uk or come down on one of our volunteer days.
It may look like it\'s all hard, manual work but there really is a job for all.
If you're able to help, or have contact with someone who can, then please let us know
