Firepower Weekend

Get ready for two days full of noise, flames and smoke as a range of artillery from the Second World War, including anti-tank guns, field artillery and anti-aircraft guns, are fired.

This is a free event. Please pre-book an arrival time and feel free to stay and make a day of it.

There will be talks about the guns being fired, and the drills employed, plus the history of Fort Nelson and its role in the Second World War. There'll also be static displays and object-handling opportunities.

There'll even be some have-a-go activities, a junior assault course, and a museum trail for our younger visitors.
