These quiz nights are run to raise funds for the Harwich Society and are open to anyone. We are always delighted to see new teams or familiar faces who haven’t been able to be with us for a while.

The quizzes take place in the Acorn Suite at the rear of the Royal Oak public house.

WW2 Home Guard reenactors Grant Harris and Simon Todd will be welcoming visitors with their display of World War II guns, bombs and uniforms and will perform drill routines.

Visitors will be able to try out the air raid siren and look over the Bofors gun whilst younger visitors might like to try on a helmet and march with a wooden replica rifle.

The museum rooms, many containing World War II artefacts, will be open as usual and a great day is guaranteed with the return of our very popular Home Guard re-enactment duo.

Gifts and Refreshments

The Redoubt kiosk serves light refreshments – hot and cold drinks, and ice creams, we also have a selection of souvenirs to purchase.

Stair lift.

A stair lift is available to/from the upper and lower levels of the fort. There is a weight restriction of 18st.

A series of Wet Felting Workshops with resident artist Monique at the Harwich Arts & Heritage Centre.

£25 per workshop including all materials & a Free Hot Drink.  Place are limited.

You can book for all three Workshops by hitting the button below or you can book individually. No Booking Fees! Or contact the Harwich Arts & Heritage Centre in person or by phone 01255 507131 to book your place.

Songs will be sung in shifts on a rota basis and no-one is expected to stay up for the entire 26 hours, unless of course they want to.  Insomniacs are of course particularly welcome!

This will be a fundraising venture for the Shanty Festival, but the emphasis is on FUNdraising with raffles, forfeits, spot prizes, shanty bingo and more to pass the time when not singing.

Everyone is welcome, from large shanty crews to solo singers, with or without any previous shanty, or indeed singing experience.

The idea is to keep the singing going and last time brought in some interesting gems from folks who had never heard of shanties before.

We will have words available if required.

You do not have to register in advance to attend, although an indication of likely interest would be helpful and does not commit you in any way.

There are still rooms available in the Alma if required (https://emea.littlehotelier.com/properties/thealmainn ) and the bar will be open for the entire duration.

Plus there is a Real Ale Festival on and the Alma breakfasts are to die for!
