Open Day: 16th April 2023

Another fine day and some interesting questions from our visitors. Many visitors are from the Tendring, Colchester or Ipswich areas but one from Hartlepool this week which was the furthest until the last guy who was from Poland. The tower is proving equally interesting to adults and children alike which is good.

S Irwin: Amazing

D Avery: Excellent

King Family: I love the music!!!!! Great work!!!!! [Ed note: we have a period soundtrack playing in the background in the accommodation room – some of the hits from 1939, ’40, ’41 and ’42]

Our next open day will be Sunday 30th April between 11am and 3pm. As I also volunteer in Beacon Hill Battery on alternate Sundays, I can usually open the tower most Sundays for a small donation. Hope to see you there 🙂


First open day of 2023

Was a great first day last Sunday with beautiful weather heralding a new open day season. We had 19 visitors from Tendring and beyond and look forward to meeting many more over the next few weeks.

Michael: Very interesting

Neil: Excellent & interesting

The Hemingway family: Kids liked seeing it / I liked the radar

Already looking forward to our next open day on Sunday 16th April between 11am and 3pm. Entry is free but donations towards the upkeep of this unique building are always welcome. Hope to see you there 🙂
