The Wat Tyler Project

The Wat Tyler Project will transform the Park, with its legacy of historic buildings and fascinating wildlife, into a centre of excellence and regional destination of choice for over 350,000 visitors each year, where people and families can relax, play and learn.

Wat Tyler Project update

Whether you call it the old explosives factory, the quartermaster store, Fleet gallery or the agricultural building, work is well underway to turn this iconic structure at the heart of the park into the new Wat Tyler Centre, and the contractors report that completion is still on course for May 2009. The work will transform the building into a state of the art visitor centre with an 80 seat cafe/restaurant, conference, entertainment and education facilities. Read the rest of this entry »
