On this day in 1940, the Blitz began.
Did your family ever tell you about being sent away when the bombing started? We'd love to hear those stories in the comments.
Hut 5 holds our immersive raid experience, and the Anderson and Morrison shelters nearby can be explored too.

At 11.15am on Sunday 3 September 1939, Neville Chamberlain broadcast to the nation from Downing Street. Britain was at war with Germany.

Families heard it on the wireless in their front rooms. Hut 1 carries that moment, at the end of a road running from Versailles through the Munich Agreement to a quiet Sunday morning.

Eighty seven years on, we remember everyone whose life changed with that broadcast.

The Chieftain was out and moving today.

56 tonnes. 750 horsepower. And a former gunner who owns it. In 2023 he found it up for sale. He bought it, got it running again, and put it back in the markings it carried when he crewed it.

It is back in the Heritage Hall now. Our team runs small arms and tank talks in there most days if you want the full story, no fixed time, so keep an eye out.

Included in standard admission.

Our tank talks are led by people who have actually crewed this equipment.
Small arms first, then the tanks, in the Heritage Hall most days, no published time.
If you've been to one this year, what stuck with you? The vehicle, the weapons handling, or something one of the lads said?

Bank Holiday Monday, and the last one of our season.

If you have been to see us this summer, we would love to know what stayed with you. The Blitz in Hut 5? The Land Girls in Hut 8? The Chieftain in the Heritage Hall? Or was it the stew?

We are open today, 10am to 5pm, last admission 4pm.
