Firing of the Moncrieff Disappearing Gun

You are invited to join us for a special evening celebrating a unique piece of Victorian artillery. The event will start at 6pm with an introduction to Crownhill Fort and its role within the wider Plymouth Defences. This will be followed by a visit to a recreated barracks and a walking tour of the rampart. Once at the Moncrieff Disappearing Gun we will demonstrate the revolutionary mechanism (with the option of audience participation) before conducting a drill and firing of the piece.
Just 40 tickets will be made available for this event, these will need to be bought in advance when they go on sale in May. Admission is £5 per person and car parking costs £2.50 per vehicle.
Full details of the event can be found on our website.
