Cold War Bunker Talks & Tours

Join us in marking National Cold War Heritage Week with special tour and talks of the Fort’s Cold War Nuclear Bunker!
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.
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.
Accommodation, control, and operations rooms were created for local council employees who would have taken control of disaster relief and reconstruction of local infrastructure in the event of a nuclear war.
The existence of the centre was known by very few people at the time and knowledge of its existence is still limited today.
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.
Nuclear Bunker Talk Times ~
