Uncover the hidden secrets of Nothe Fort’s Cold War Nuclear Bunker! Sunday 15 March 10am - 4pm
Learn about the secret system that was put in place during the Cold War era that enabled a select number of people to survive a nuclear strike.
Talks will be in the Engine Room at 11:30am, 12:30pm, and 2:00pm.
There will be items from our Cold War Collection on display during the talk.
Book your FREE Talk ticket on arrival at the Shop desk. First come, first served. This talk is suited to ages 16+.
In 1983, unbeknown to the local community, part of Nothe Fort was secretly converted into a local authority emergency centre as part of the UK’s defence preparations for nuclear war.
Come and join our friendly and knowledgeable team of volunteers for a unique insight into how this much-loved Victorian fort was secretly utilised during the latter part of the Cold War.
