SITES AND RANGERS
How can I book an educational visit to Fort Victoria?
The Aquarium, Maritime Heritage Exhibition and Planetarium are privately run attractions, and you must contact them directly to arrange an organised visit. Many groups visiting the site enjoy our ranger tours and activities, and if you’d like to enquire about this or make a booking, Contact the Countryside Section.
Can I book the barbeques at Fort Victoria?
Yes, the BBQ site is bookable and to ensure you get exclusive use of the barbeque facilities, you are advised to book –they are very popular on summer evenings and we strongly recommend booking well in advance. If you’d like to enquire about this or make a booking, contact the Countryside Section or complete the form.
Is it possible to have a memorial/dedication to someone on a Council site?
There are limited opportunities to plant or erect a tree or bench on countryside sites, but not all requests can be accepted. We are unable to accept trees or plants as donations, but we will normally arrange for any memorial tree or bench to be installed. No plaques are permitted on trees but benches can be inscribed. For further information contact (01983) 823890. For formal memorial trees in the Arboretum, with plaques, we suggest the Council’s Parks section scheme which you can find out more about on 823367.
