2024 calendar of events
Monthly tour bookings have finished now for 2024 and will resume in April 2025. They are normally available for Drop Redoubt Fort, April to September, (and subject to inclusion in the calendar below) – please use the link to book. Please note we do not operate tours of the Grand Shaft staircase, but on days it is open you can visit without booking and explore at your leisure.
Tours/visits are free but we welcome cash donations on the day or you can donate safely online at our GoFundMe page – as an entirely voluntary organisation 100% of all donations go back into the work of WHPS.
