The Great Gale of 1824
When? 21 Nov 2024 to 24 Nov 2024
Where? Portland
An exhibition to commemorate the 200th anniversary of The Great Gale of 1824, which caused much destruction on the Dorset Coast.
Dorset Coast Forum, in collaboration with the Environment Agency and BCP Council bring together a free public exhibition that explores the impacts The Great Gale of 1824 left on the Dorset Coast. This hurricane-force storm left a trail of destruction, and the exhibition will feature personal stories and accounts from 1824, explore the reasons behind the storm, and discuss how we can predict and prepare for possible similar future events.
The exhibition will travel across the Dorset Coast in October and November 2024 and is free entry at all locations.
