2026 dates coming soon!

The Artillery  also attend as well as specialist events across the UK. The group can also be hired to attend special events, public and private, and will design their display based on your requirements.

Members of the Nothe Fort Artillery come from all walks of life, sharing a common enthusiasm and interest in Military History. They are very much involved in the local community and would like to invite you to join the team.

There are no age limits to becoming a Nothe Fort Artillery Volunteer. Uniforms and muskets are provided after an initial training period and safety assessment* – adhering to a similar strict attention to detail and standards of behaviour as their Victorian predecessors – but great fun!
