Terms & Conditions
* Gift Aid is a very simple idea from the taxman which enables Newhaven Fort to reclaim the tax paid on donations. Our entry tickets allow you to visit as many times as you want during our open season. This allows us to treat your entry fee as a donation if you complete a Gift Aid declaration when purchasing your ticket either online or in person at the Fort. Completing a Gift Aid declaration allows us to treat your whole entry fee as a donation and reclaim 25p for every £1 spent. That makes a huge difference towards the conservation and restoration of the Fort at no cost to you. There is no extra cost if you choose to make a Gift Aid declaration but you will have the same right to entry if you choose not to.
