This Mothering Sunday (Sunday 14th March) the National Trust want to make mum’s day so are offering free admission at the Needles Old Battery, to all mums accompanied by one or more of their children. Then after mum has looked around she can enjoy a free slice of home-made Victoria sandwich cake in the tea room.
To qualify for these treats, mums must be accompanied by one or more of their children which will make it a real family day out. Make the most of this opportunity to see round this historic building, follow the solider trail, see the new display in the Cartridge Store showing how it would have looked in 1880 and get as close as possible to the Needles Rocks via the twisty tunnel. And there is even have a pushchair and wheelchair viewing platform for those who can’t manage (or don’t fancy) the spiral staircase. If you arrive between 12 noon and 2pm you will also have chance to meet a rocket-man at the Needles New Battery. So whatever your age or interest, there will be something for everyone this Mother’s Day at the Needles Old Battery & New Battery.
