The Romney Marsh Wartime Collection & Dispersal Hut Cafe The Romney Marsh Wartime Collection is a unique collection of wartime articles. An immersive experience. Open from, 18th April to 26th October.

The Dispersal Hut 1940s themed cafe serving homemade savouries and cakes Since those early days voluntary members have attempted to improve the range of exhibits to embrace many aspects of the war. Brenzett is an Independent Charitable Trust dedicated to the memory of those living or dead, friend or foe, who served their country during wartime. The Exhibition is located within the original buildings used as a Hostel for the Women's Land Army during the war, and part of the Exhibition is devoted to those ladies - some of their graffiti is still evident today! In July 1942 the Air Ministry started detailed work to convert a 300 acre site between the A2070 and the A2081 into an advanced landing ground. The airfield was due for completion on 1st March 1943, but was not finished until September that year. The airstrip (known locally as the Ivychurch airstrip) was first used by Spitfire IX's of No.122 Squadron. Also based there were Squadrons to combat flying bombs, in 1944, 129 Squadron and two Polish Squadrons Nos. 306 & 315. The Museum has one of the largest Bomb Disposal equipment displays in the U.K. There is also a Barnes Wallis Dambuster Bomb on display outside. The Museum Trust is a non-profit making concern, and all proceeds are used to expand and improve the Museum. Saturday, Sunday, & Bank Holidays, 10:30 - 16:30
Last admission 15:30
Adults £6.00, OAPs £5.00, Children Under 16 Free. Prices subject to change at Management discretion
