Nothe Fort

The models are based on drawings, plans and photographs of the real ships.They are flat bottomed so that when placed on a blue tablecloth they look as though they are in the sea. But these aren’t just static models. If you can go down to the exhibition, get Mr Warren to show you how they move. The rotor blades spin on the aircraft, the radars move on the ships.

It might take more patience than most of us have- but Mr Warren’s steady hand is something of a natural talent. Not to be missed! Come and be amazed at the detail and accuracy of the scaled replicas of modern warships on display.

Made entirely of matchsticks and matchboxes these models, that have taken one man a lifetime to build fill the whole of our exhibition area.

Open during normal opening hours. Normal entry charges apply.

We are delighted to be hosting in conjunction with Dorchester Arts & Opera Anywhere, H.M.S. Pinafore. This follows a successful performance last year with the Pirates of Penzance.

Please feel free to bring your own picnic or use the Fort View Cafe which will be open for food & refreshments and licenced bar.

This is a joint venture working in partnership and we are delighted to be hosting Opera Anywhere who will be performing at the Fort for the first time.

This is a tale of mismatched love across different social classes. Josephine is the captain’s daughter and has fallen for lowly sailor Ralph. Yet her father has other ideas – he has promised her to Sir Joseph Porter, the First Lord of the Admiralty. Will love prevail? Climb aboard to find out and enjoy a feast of fun along the way. Hip hip hooray!
