As part of the celebrations for Portsmouth's Centenary we are offering a unique opportunity for guided tours of the Cold War Bunker.
Our guide will take you on a one hour tour through the tunnels into the Bunker where you'll get a rare opportunity to witness how the underground Control Centre would have operated. The bunker remains unchanged since the 1950s and has only ever been used during the Great Storm of 1987.
This is a free introductory event run by the Peter Ashley Activity Centres staff and volunteers.
We ask all participants to complete a feedback form based on their experience of the event.
Your feedback will support the Charity's commitment to developing a more indepth and accessible experience of the Bunker and within the Fort.
Recommended minimum age is 8.
Under 18's are to be accompanied by an adult ( max of 2 per adult)
Tickets are available via Eventbrite until 9am on the day of the tour, however we expect this opportunity to be popular.
