Spitbank Fort Clarenco Hotel, Solent, Portsmouth, England

The fort was declared surplus to requirements in 1962 and disposed of by the Ministry of Defence in 1982. The fort is now privately owned and once opened as a museum. It has 50 rooms, its own dance hall, restaurant, and was once available for private functions with limited accommodation available. It was the venue for the Coalition Festival in the summer of 2009, and other psytrance and hard dance parties.
In 2009 it was put on sale for GB£800,000 but was sold before auction, reportedly for more than £1m.
Beginning June 4, 2002 the Fort was used as a location for 'Banged Up With Beadle'. For six weeks British TV personality Jeremy Beadle was locked in its dungeons. Cameras followed him as he coped with survival, plus learning skills with a different member of the public each week. These skills were put to the test as a live insert each Saturday evening into 'Ant and Dec's Takeaway'. The fort was also featured on an episode of Most Haunted in series 8.
