1940s Spring Weekend at Castletown D-Day Centre
When? 06 Apr 2024 to 07 Apr 2024
Where? Castletown D-Day Centre - Portland
Join us as we step back in time to the 1940s this Spring!
Castletown D-Day Centre will be bustling with reenactors, stalls, activities, live music and more as we celebrate the important role Portland played on D-Day!
Visit the site of embarkation, where thousands of American troops left for the beaches of Normandy. Climb inside real, battle tested vehicles (including our Sherman tank), try on authentic uniforms and handle weapons actually carried on the beaches.
This is an immersive experience for all the family! Get hands on with history this April at the D-Day Centre!
