Access and self guided exploration are free but if you enjoy the visit, friendly greeting and help from our volunteers we would welcome a donation towards the work of the Society. All money raised goes back into the Western Heights as none of our committee or volunteers take any type of financial reward for their work. You can donate safely online at our GoFundMe page or we welcome cash donations on the day.

If you are visiting us for an event or even just to look around why not start or finish your trip with a visit to the Citadel Cafe https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61559826333758 located right outside the mighty Citadel gate complex for a range of delicious hot and cold meals, cakes, drinks and snacks 🥪🍨🍰 (W3W loudly.cabs.radiating)
