If it’s creepy creatures you’re after then visit the ‘Jaws and Claws’ animal handling sessions at 1.30pm and 2.45pm on Thursday 31st October.

On the 2nd of November, Filmspot touring cinema returns with a screening of the classic Ghostbusters (1984) [PG]. The screening begins at 2.00pm. Tickets are priced at £6.00 for adults and £4.00 for children and can be purchased in advance from Newhaven Fort.
