Newhaven Fort – Autumn Gathering

Newhaven Fort, Fort Road, Newhaven BN9 9DS

Sunday 28th September 2025

Newhaven Fort is a Palmerston fort built in the 19th century to defend the harbour at Newhaven, on the south coast of England. It was the largest defence work ever built in Sussex and is now open as a museum. Newhaven Fort only reopened earlier this year (2025) after being closed during 2024 and after a £7.5 million restoration! Visitors can now explore the newly opened areas, including its extensive tunnel network and Battery Observation Post with fantastic panoramic views of the Sussex coastline.

Newly refurbished museum, new displays, refurbished toilets and also an on-site café, run by the Cadence Cycle Club, offering a range of food and drinks – but your own picnics are also very welcome and we will all be parked together inside the tarmac area of the Fort, itself… (numbers permitting).
