Current Outreach events and activitys

For one day in July 2009, Fort Brockhurst became a small kingdom populated by people highly sensitive to the particularities of its many different buildings and spaces. Working with Project Art Works, a group of adults with learning disabilities investigated the Fort and a video and sound installation has been created from their experiences. On Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th September you can come and make your own exploration of the Fort, which is open for free as part of Heritage Open Days.
