Eastbourne Armed Forces Weekend - Click to go to the events page

A weekend of free events to honour our Armed Forces at the Redoubt Fortress & Military Museum. These events are part of a national series of events to appreciate the contribution made to society by all those who serve and have served in Her Majesty’s Armed Services. This includes serving personnel (both regular and reserve), veterans and cadet forces.

The Redoubt Fortress is now open for the summer season.

Sussex Costal Forts Logo

Newhaven Fort, Seaford’s Martello Tower and The Redoubt Fortress in Eastbourne have joined forces to create the Sussex Coastal Forts partnership (SCF). The SCF partnership has introduced a shared ticketing scheme and visitors to any one of the three attractions can take their ‘proof of entry’ from their first visit to either of the other two attractions and gain reduced admission.
