The Dover Western Heights Preservation Society are pleased to announce a rare opportunity to have a guided tour of the historic garrison of Fort Burgoyne on Saturday 2nd June during the Dover Tattoo 2012. The tours are free but are on a first come first served basis. Please note you will still need to pay for entry to the Dover Tattoo fun day.
You can reserve your places at our stand, which will be at the main gate to the fort. When you have booked in you will be allocated a place on a tour and given a ticket which is only valid for that tour time. Please note that if you miss that tour you will have to re-book another place.
The first tour will set off at 11.30am and the last one will begin at 4pm. They will run every fifteen minutes between those times, and we anticipate each tour to last around 45 minutes.
Well done Sam, Tess and Kelly on the Grand Shaft Everest Challenge on the 7th April, the Dover Western Heights Preservation Society would like to say a big thank you.
