The Heritage Open Days - Wanstone Rediscovered 2026 will take place at The White Cliffs of Dover on 12 September 2026, featuring workshops and events celebrating the heritage of the area. Admission is required.
In July 2022, the remains of one of the Second World War cross-channel guns, nicknamed 'Jane', were uncovered at Wanstone, near Dover, Kent. Part of the largest gun battery ever built in Britain, Jane could fire a 1980 lb/900 kg shell 26 miles/41 km.
Meet some of the dedicated team of volunteers who uncovered these remains and now maintain them, and take a tour of the enormous gun site, magazine, crew shelter, artefact store and the D2 Battle of Britain 3.7-inch heavy anti-aircraft battery, which have been hidden since the 1950s.
You'll also see an exhibition of wartime plans and a video presentation of photographs of the guns under construction and in action.
Guided tours are available on demand, subject to guide availability, and no booking is required.
