Enjoy a rare opportunity to explore inside the only surviving Second World War Air Raid Precaution Bunker and Civil Defence Centre in Hampshire.

Step down into an underground bunker and discover how men, women and children worked to keep the people of Gosport safe during the Second World War.

You will discover how this concrete building, aka 'The Bunker', was used during the Second World War as a command post for air raid protection and an emergency response post by various people who all bravely worked to protect and assist Gosport's community during German bombing raids.

This building is now home to a reference library, archive, and store for The Diving Museum, and they will provide your Guide for this unique experience

The venue is small but offers a fascinating insight into the heritage on your doorstep.
