We are delighted to announce the Pride of Portsmouth is being displayed at Fort Nelson.

The Pride was created to celebrate 100 years of Portsmouth's city status and formed a trail across the city during the summer.

The majority of the lions have now come together at the Fort, with a few lions remaining on duty in Portsmouth, and will be here until the end of the year.

Fort Nelson is free to enter but capacity is limited so we ask visitors to pre-book tickets at https://bit.ly/4eLaK1g to guarantee entry. Please note the site will be busy for half term with our Halloween Half Term event, but the lions will be on site for weeks to come.

Fort Nelson was built more than 150 years ago to defend Portsmouth.
Today, the lions stand proudly together within its walls, celebrating the creativity, strength and spirit of the city.
