Step back in time and experience the atmosphere and action of the 1940s at Dover Castle at War. Join us for a Father’s Day special as we commemorate the 80th anniversary of VE Day, marking the end of World War Two in Europe.

Witness a tense, action-packed battle between the allied and German forces featuring striking pyrotechnics and real-life vintage army vehicles. Experience life on the Home Front, listen to live music from the era, and meet the re-enactors whilst you set the kids off to play at hands on activities including the Sergeant’s infamous assault course.
