The WW2 Garrison re-enactors are bringing wartime history to life at the Fort! 

 

The WW2 Garrison Re‑enactors bring wartime history to life at Nothe Fort through immersive living history experiences.
The WW2 Garrison Living History Group represents the authentic duties carried out by the soldiers stationed at Nothe Fort during the Second World War. Visitors can learn about the daily life of a wartime garrison and see how soldiers lived and worked on site.
What you can experience:
  • Parade Ground Drills
    Watch the Garrison practise marching drills on the Fort’s Parade Ground.
  • Guard Duty
    Look out for soldiers stationed around the Fort – a perfect opportunity for photos.
  • Coastal Watch Patrols
    Join patrols around the Ramparts, weather permitting, and learn how the coastline was monitored.
  • Soldier Recruitment School
    Discover how soldiers enlisted during the Second World War and try on some kit.
  • Anti‑Aircraft Gun Drills
    See how soldiers would have responded to enemy aircraft during wartime.
