Step back in time to explore a unique part of Brighton's wartime history with one of our air raid shelter tours.
During the war, every school would have had its own air raid shelter, now one of the only surviving examples in the UK is under the playground at Downs Junior School.
There is lots to do and see during your visit to Take Shelter including:
*Tour the shelter with one of our knowledgeable guides (ticketed)
* Play one of our vintage fair games (charges apply)
*Browse our World War II museum and chat with our veterans about their wartime experiences.
*Soak up the vintage sounds and learn wartime dances on our dance-floor. We also have a number of performances and live music from local bands.
*Enjoy a cup of tea and bite to eat from Mrs Button's Tea Room
*Take home a souvenir from the Take Shelter shop.
*Enjoy the craft stalls, learn a new skill or get your hair done 1940’s style.
With plenty to see and do for all ages why not stay the day and enjoy all the fun Take Shelter has to offer.
