It's a “Spine-tingling” experience ghost hunting at Newhaven Fort

This week, October 23 to 29, will be the last chance to visit the Fort before it closes for the whole of 2024, for a £5.8 million restoration project. You can have a go at the pumpkin trail, make some frightful Halloween crafts, get spooked in the Halloween tunnels and handle some military equipment.

A spokesperson for Newhaven Fort said: “Ghost Hunting at Newhaven Fort is an exciting, spine-tingling experience! Exploring deep down in the dark tunnels where the spirits of the Fort like to make themselves known regularly is not for the faint hearted! The teams that investigate here give guests an amazing experience that they will never forget. Newhaven Fort takes on a different atmosphere when the sun goes down, and the lights go out!”

From 11am to 3pm each day this week there will be opportunities to explore the spooky tunnels by torchlight. Normal admission applies with this experience included in the price of a normal day ticket.

On Thursday, October 26, a family ghost hunt will be hosted from 6pm to 7:30pm. The chance to explore what it is like to be a paranormal investigator, in a famously haunted location.

This event is aimed at ages 8+ with a walk around the fort visiting all of the areas and rooms investigated the adult ghost nights.

Team members will be telling attendees about the encounters they have had while looking for ghosts, and staff will be sharing their first hand accounts of the ghosts. Tickets for this must be booked in advance from newhavenfort.org.uk/events/familyghosthunt
