Blyth Battery is just off the A193 at South Beach, Blyth, between Blyth and Seaton Sluice. Follow the brown signs to the beach car park; when you reach the car park continue to the very far end and look for the grey and pink concrete buildings, behind Fort House Education Centre.
Blyth Battery is now hosting birthday parties for children aged 5 and over. They will be really exciting experiences, exploring the Blyth Battery site, playing games and doing fun activites based around the working of the site.
Most groups can be accomodated and decorations and a party tea put on
Please get in touch with the volunteers to discuss all of your needs
If you would like a reminder of your visit to Blyth Battery, guide books are now available at a small cost. The book has been written by the Blyth Battery Volunteers and gives more information about the history of the site and the individual buildings.
All money made from the sale of guide books will be put back into the battery, helping to maintain it for future generations.
