Join the Friends of Dover Castle for a fascinating journey into wartime Britain as you step back in time to the 1940s.

During the Second World War, the Kitchen Garden at Dover Castle was used to grow food for the garrison to support the war effort. The area and its surrounding green space served as part of the 'Dig for Victory' campaign, cultivating vegetables, fruit and herbs to address food shortages at a pivotal time in the castle’s history.

Visitors will have the opportunity to explore the historic Kitchen Garden, meet a member of the Women’s Land Army as well as see replica wartime weapons, offering a closer look at the equipment and experiences of the era.
