This special midweek event will only be open to small group to explore the remarkable history and paranormal activity inside the Fort.
Whether you consider you are an experienced investigator or are just interested in the history of this Victorian Fort we will be putting the legends of the location to the test…

Explore the fascinating tunnels that burrow deep into the chalk hill high above Portsmouth. Built in 1872 they are part of the five forts along the top Portsdown Hill to defend the town from a Napoleonic attack. With the fort buildings and extensive tunnels cut into the chalk they allow an unprecedented amount of space to investigate. This is your opportunity to join Dark Encounters as we re-open our Casebook of over 150 investigations on this location.
