Grab your coats and step back in time...

...as Fort Rodd Hill opens its doors for its annual, after-dark guided tour. Experience the site by night, see the gun batteries by lantern light and eavesdrop on re-enactors in uniform going about the daily activities of garrison life. Take in the sights, sounds and smells of life at Fort Rodd Hill during the period of 1897-1956. Always a local favourite with new vignettes each year.

Additional Information

This event is a fund-raiser for the Victoria-Esquimalt Military Re-enactor Association whose volunteers bring their passion and knowledge to many of Fort Rodd Hill’s annual events. This event is suitable for all ages, but visitors should be prepared for uneven surfaces and be comfortable walking in the dark. Only service animals are allowed. The Lantern Tour is about an hour long. Several vignettes will take place in different areas of the fort. Once the tour is completed, visitors can meet with site staff for further information.
