Event details

Tuesday 20 July, 14.30-15.30

Fort Burgoyne was built in the 1860s to defend Dover Castle and the South Coast. In use by the military until 2006, it was acquired by the Land Trust in 2014.

Since then, the Trust has been working to stabilise the fort and is planning to transform it into a financially sustainable, vibrant place for learning, events, business, the arts and local and visitor communities.

This skillshare will detail the principles behind the current stabilisation work, the Vision the Land Trust has for the Fort, and the activity which is taking place to start to realise that Vision.

About the speaker: Chris Valdus, Fort Burgoyne Heritage Project Manager

Chris is an experienced programme and project manager with over 20 years of work in local government and charity sectors managing countryside, parks and historic building visitor attractions.

The stabilisation and regeneration of Fort Burgoyne in Dover continues to provide opportunities to utilise his skills in partnership working, volunteer and event management, procurement and fundraising alongside building and habitat management.
