Newhaven Fort Events Programme 2008


Welcome to Newhaven Fort’s event page, detailing all of the special events taking place in 2008, month by month.

Back by popular demand - a wartime jazz evening; the band of the Royal Marines will be visiting us for the first time to perform 'Beat the Retreat'; open-air theatre company, Oddsocks are back for another alternative Shakespeare production, 'Much ado about nothing'. Please note that these events will be popular and require separate tickets - so please book early to avoid disappointment.

This year sees Urban Culture Day - especially aimed at young people across the county with dance, music and urban games and the 'Our Newhaven' community day with a theatre performance & community stalls. Vehicle enthusiasts will enjoy the Vintage Morris Rally, cars from 1913; Classic English Motorbike Show and Down Memory Lane with vintage vehicles and collector’s displays and stalls.

An old favourite, Battle of Britain Day will this year see the return of the ever lively 'Brighton Jive dancers' and the nostalgic singing of 'Swingtime Sweethearts' . Don't forget the architecture tours, paranormal events and the horrible Halloween Quiz Trail!!
