Cheeky elves have arrived at Fort Nelson

Fun-loving elves from the North Pole have sneaked into Fort Nelson and are causing mayhem around the site.

Twelve elves named Tinsel, Jingle, Pixie, Glitter, Frost, Twinkle, Merry, Sparkle, Buddy, Noel, Candy and Holly were discovered by staff when they arrived for work at the Victorian fort.

Now staff are asking children to help find the elves and fill in a worksheet, so they know where the cheeky elves are hiding.

But children are being warned not to touch the elves as they will lose their magic and not be able to perform their Christmas duties for Santa.

A 12 days of Christmas fun trail is also in place at Fort Nelson for families to explore during December.

Worksheets for the elves and the trail can be downloaded at https://royalarmouries.org/whats-on/?where=FortNelson

Fort Nelson is free to enter. Car parking £3.

Nigel Hosier, General Manager, said: “We would love children to come and help us find the elves hidden around the site so we can round them up safely and send them back to Santa on Christmas Eve.”

Fort Nelson is home to the national collection of artillery and the museum galleries, outdoor spaces and underground tunnels have all reopened. The café and museum shop are also open for books and gifts.

Fort Nelson is open seven days a week. Remember to book in advance at https://bit.ly/37rfTIK

Delicious thinly sliced pork in Korean marinade

Likewise this Korean recipe for pork, which turned out to be so delicious we have cooked it for everyone. The marinade is simple to make and yet really packed with flavours. For the Korean marinade you need 3 garlic cloves 1/2 brown onion 1/2 a pear or apple Blitz these ingredients together and then add 5 tablespoons soy sauce (I use Kikkoman) 3 tablespoons caster sugar 2 tablespoons sesame oil 3 tablespoons mirin black pepper For dinner for 2 people, 200g pork tenderloin is enough.

Then heat a frying pan on medium heat with a teaspoon of vegetable oil and fry the thin pork pieces until browned. You want some of the edges of the meat to be dark brown and caramelised, if you can. Don't cook too many pieces or

‘Southsea dinosaur’ returns

Luna Park 2021, an eagerly anticipated new public artwork for Portsmouth designed by internationally renowned artists Ivan Morison and Heather Peak of Studio Morison will be launched on 2 October 2021 on a celebratory day in Southsea Common. The 1.4 metres bronze sculpture is a tribute to the original 53-foot high 2010 artwork Luna Park, which tragically burned down on Southsea Common.

The new public artwork will be located within a direct sightline to the position of the original Luna Park sculpture.

People will be transported to a digital rendering of the original artwork, seemingly standing life-size in front of them on Southsea Common. Viewers will also be able to use their mobile devices to visit a digital
