Fort Amherst Volunteers

Fort Amherst currently has a good base of volunteers and it is growing week by week; but we do require more volunteers to assist in the maintenance and running of the largest and most complete Regency Fortress in Europe.

There couldn't be a better time to join us as Fort Amherst is the 'jewel in the crown' for Chatham's World Heritage Site bid. The Fort will form a major part of the Great Lines Heritage Park with major restoration projects commencing shortly and the entire facade of the Fort, on all four sides, will become visible and dominate Chatham's sky line once more!

Fort Amherst is a site of international historical importance.

There are many areas that our volunteers work and they only put in the time that they can spare ....

all of their time is invaluable to Fort Amherst.

We need people to help in guiding, maintenance, gardening, special events (including night time events), restoration of the fort's cannons (the largest privately owned collection in the UK) and much, much more.
