SATURDAY 19th & SUNDAY 20th APRIL 2025.
The return of our ever popular living history weekend!  The museum is taking a step back in time and going back to what life was like either side of the Berlin Wall during the Cold War. Keep an eye out for patrolling troops around the Nantwich area on Saturday and Sunday morning as the Bunker welcomes re-enactors and their military vehicles in through its gates. Across the site, there will be military camps set up, and re-enactors giving an insight into how lives were lived by both Western and Eastern forces. The event will be patrolled and checkpoints will have to be passed as visitors are invited to venture between the two sides of the Cold War! Discover the length and breadth of conflicts from 1945 to more recent times, featuring some diverse and interesting military displays. 

Our Cold War Living History Weekend is open from 10am on both Saturday and Sunday, with last entry at 3.30pm.

Exploring the bunker...

The self-guided tour takes about 1.5 - 2 hours and you can also watch a screening of The War Game, which lasts around 45 minutes. 
There are several steps to the lower level and we do not have a lift. There are chairs around the museum for you to rest.
The museum and canteen are pet friendly throughout, so feel free to bring your furry, feathered or scaly friend with you.

Your ticket will be an Annual Pass, so you can come back as many times as you would like for a whole year. This online booking redeems a physical ticket that you can collect during your visit. The ticket is then valid for 12 months from the date of your first visit. Your ticket is non-transferrable.

We recommend booking for the day of your visit but your booking reference is valid for 12 months from purchase.
