Events - Shorncliffe Trust

The Shorncliffe Trust is currently planning numerous high profile fund raising events over the next 5 years. Shorncliffe has a unique history that is inseparable from world history events and their effects on ordinary people

Important Note: Sir John Moore Commemoration Update:

Due to the ongoing restrictions as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic, the planned ceremony to mark the 212th Anniversary of Corunna will not take place this weekend at Sandgate. (16th January 2021)

Instead, we will be marking the occasion with a special video that will appear across all of our social media channels tomorrow.

We hope to be able to gather at the Sir John Moore Memorial at Sandgate later this year, to mark this commemoration and to pay tribute to Sir John Moore, and the brave soldiers of the 95th Rifles.

Thank you for your understanding, The Shorncliffe Trust.
