Bletchley Park - principal centre of Allied code-breaking during the Second World War
Overview
It's about time we had a return visit to Bletchley Park, we haven't been for a couple of years. This place is steeped in history and makes a fascinating day out. They recommend we allow at least 4 hours for the visit so we a re meeting at 11am to make the most of our time here.
A visit to Bletchley Park involves both indoor and outdoor activities, we would recommend outdoor clothing and footwear to get the most out of your visit. Any heel which covers an area smaller than a postage stamp can cause irreparable damage to floors and carpets: we regret, therefore, that sharp-heeled shoes are not permitted.
The site continues to reveal secrets and tell fascinating stories of our national legacy.
If you'd be willing to host, please choose the discounted host place.
Please note that prices quoted do not include a visit to The National Museum of Computing, which is located next to Bletchley Park and operates as a separate museum with a different tariff and different hours of operation.
If there is any interest, we could book that for a different date, and you can then also re-visit Bletchley park as your ticket is valid for a year! After our last visit, some of the members made arrangements for a second visit as there was so much to see.

Bletchley Park is a vibrant heritage attraction and museum, open daily to visitors.
It was the home of British World War Two codebreaking; a place where technological innovation and human endeavour came together to make ground breaking achievements that have helped shape the world we live in today.
This unique site was previously a vast Victorian estate, where parts including the Mansion still survive, expanding during wartime to accommodate Codebreakers Huts and Blocks.
During World War Two, the Government Code and Cypher School (GC&CS), now known as the Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ), was based at Bletchley Park. It grew from a small team of specialists to a vast intelligence factory of thousands of dedicated women and men. This extraordinary combination of brilliant and determined people and cutting-edge technology contributed significantly to Allied victory. In tough conditions, they provided vital intelligence and developed pioneering technological innovation that had a direct and profound influence on the outcome of the war.

Bring a picnic and snacks, it can be a very full day.
There is a coffee shop just after we enter the site and a cafe next to the mansion so you should be able to purchase snacks and drinks if you prefer.
