On Monday 27th October, the museum is holding a Trench Tour and Discovery Day and if you can make it you're sure to have a great day.
Displaying medals, armoured vehicles, weapons, letters and much more, you will also see members of the Museum’s Education Team, dressed in period uniform who will take you down into the trench - made all the more evocative by the boom of heavy artillery and the crack of sniper bullets, original WW1 artefacts and signage, a First Aid station, Firing Step and Funk Hole.
During the Staffordshire Regiment Museum Trench Tour and Discovery Day, you can enter the trench tunnel, used to undermine the enemy’s trenches that were often such a short way away, but watch out, this is a dangerous place to be! You can also try on uniforms and handle period weapons.
Trench Tours start at 11am and run approximately every 20 minutes until 3pm.
Ticket prices: Adults £4, concessions £3. Tickets include access to the Museum’s main collection.
Please tell us about your day and share your photographs.
