Once again, the Western Heights Preservation Society will be opening the Napoleonic North Entrance road tunnels and gun rooms! This is a 'once a year' opportunity to view inside a historic monument that has been sealed for around 50 years.

Times Tours are usually available 1000 – 1500 on the days advertised and last for approximately 50 mins. More details are made available on our FB page and website ahead of each opening.

Tours are free but WHPS encourage and welcome donations to our entirely voluntary work either as cash on the day or via our GoFundMe page at https://gofund.me/96f2834e

Places are strictly limited and for safety reasons we cannot accept visitors on tours if it exceeds the maximum 15 places allocated so please pre-book.

Limited parking is available on Drop Redoubt Road, St Martins Battery car park and on the Grand Shaft Barracks site. Parking is at own risk and is not supervised.

Places must be booked in advance through Eventbrite, please do not email us asking for spaces as we cannot allocate them.

Tickets will be available from Eventbrite late August and can only be booked via the link when published.
