About this event

Event info

As night falls over the trenches, prepare to take a tour and witness the frontline come to life. Meet wartime characters along the way as you journey through the allied areas and then venture into the WW1 German bunker. Listen to the tales of trench life and hear the sounds of the nearby battlefield.

The museum gallery will have temporary displays for you to browse either before or after your tour. Gallery open from 4.30pm-9pm

Warm-up with a hot pork bap, burger or real sausage hotdog from @Sipz&Bitez catering and enjoy a warming drink served from the WVS wagon onsite. Please bring cash as the internet connection isn’t reliable.
