WWII Royal Observer Corps Operations Room Open Days

Uncover the military secrets of the Guildhall’s incredible WWII Operations Room at our Free 2026 Open Days!

The Guildhall contains the only surviving WW2 Operations Room of the Royal Observer Corps – an unsung group of local heroes who were the ‘eyes and ears of the RAF’ during the Battle of Britain.

Their story has been hidden behind a veil of secrecy for over 80 years, but now it’s all been declassified for you to explore.
