Join us over the Easter holidays for some fun family-friendly activities involving mysterious maps. During these drop-in sessions you’ll have the chance to take on the role of a codebreaker during World War Two, crack secret coded messages, and plot on a map the fastest route for the Dispatch Riders to safely get their messages back to Bletchley Park. Why not have a go at making a sliding map puzzle or you can create your own maze! Drop-in sessions are open between 7-16 April, 11:00 to 15:30 and are suitable for 5-14-year olds and their families.

From 10-13 April, Nigel Amies, historical educator, will be returning to Bletchley Park to reprise his role as Morse Trainer and Drill Sergeant. Visit Nigel in the Mansion to find out more about WW2 kit and equipment. You can even attempt your very own secret Morse code message. Afterwards, make sure to join Nigel outside on the lawn to participate in the Bletchley Home Guard Drill – broom handles will be provided!

Can you complete our Codebreaker trail? Throughout the Easter holidays, pick up a mission pack for £1 from admissions, where you have the opportunity to solve clues located around Bletchley Park. Once you’ve solved all the clues, you can collect your prize from the Information Desk!

All our family activities are included in admission price and your season ticket includes free unlimited entry to Bletchley Park for a year. Don’t forget under 12s go free!
