Booking now open for our open days
We are open for tours and much more on the second Sunday of each month during term time. At each of our community open mornings you can:
- Explore our unique underground air raid shelter with our friendly volunteer guides (tickets required).
- Browse the new Take Shelter museum displays and chat to our veterans about their wartime experiences
- Have a tasty snack and hot drink at Mrs Button’s Tea Room
- Take home a souvenir from our Take Shelter gift shop
Our next Open Days are:
While you are at Take Shelter, why don’t you also…
Try your hand at our vintage games (May dates only)
Roll up, roll up! As part of our vintage fair there will be a range of games to have a go at. Will you win by luck or by skill? Stalls will be open from 12noon each day.
Take home a Take Shelter souvenir
No visit would be complete without a Take Shelter souvenir from our well stocked gift shop. Open from 10am.
Meet our wartime veterans
We are incredibly lucky to have a small number of veterans involved with the project. Come and meet Alan, or David in the Take Shelter Museum and hear their stories first hand.
Tap your toes to wartime tunes
The air will be filled with vintage sounds provided by DJ Libby Lou. Whether you sit and enjoy the tunes, dance across the floor or take your first steps in one of our taster lessons, Libby will create the perfect musical atmosphere.
