From exploring the Fort’s notoriously haunted tunnels to eerie encounters with creepy creatures, visitors can discover for themselves whether the Fort’s ghostly tales are true.
If they dare, families are invited to take up torches and venture into Newhaven Fort’s shadowy tunnels, which will be brought to life with Halloween decorations and spooky surprises.
