Here’s your A-Z guide to a summer of fun at Bletchley Park! 

Inspired by A Bletchley Alphabet, composed by staff of Bletchley Park at the end of World War Two.

 

A is for – Anyone for Chess? Challenge your friends to a game with our giant, outdoor set by Hut 4.

B is for – Bicycles! Many of those working at Bletchley Park during World War Two cycled in for their shift, and you can ride your bike to visit us too. Milton Keynes has a network of cycling routes throughout the city, called the Redways, and Bletchley Park is a part of the network. Visit Get Around MK to help plan your journey. Look (and listen!) out for the vintage bike shed by Hut 8.

C is forCrafty Commanders and Codebreakers family workshop. Inspired by Operation Husky, the invasion of Sicily by sea and air by the Allied Forces eighty years ago in 1943, have a go at some codebreaking, glider making and sneaky planning with our drop-in family workshops.

D is for – Deckchairs! Need we say more? You’ll find these dotted around the lawn throughout the summer. Look out for our Giant Deckchair decorated with a special pattern chosen by our social media followers!

E is for – Escape the heat (or the rain!) with our exhibitions! Discover what it was like to work here, why Bletchley Park was chosen as a wartime site, and the impact codebreaking had on World War Two, and more, in our immersive exhibitions.

F is for – Frog! To help speed up the sending of messages between teams at Bletchley Park, a system of pneumatic tubes was set up. To break up the hard one, enterprising staff found frogs in the lake, loaded them into the pneumatic tube system and sent them to unsuspecting colleagues. We bet the frogs gave them a jump! Learn more about this story and what it was like to work at Bletchley Park in The Intelligence Factory exhibition in Block A

G is for  – Guided tours! Free tours are available daily, taking you through the history and development of Bletchley Park and the incredible stories of those who worked here. Sign up in our Block C Visitor Centre.

R is for – Read a book! Our Shop in Block C is stocked with plenty of titles to enjoy – whether you’re interested in the nitty-gritty of how codes were broken, or personal accounts from Veterans on what it was like to work here. All profits help support the ongoing work of Bletchley Park Trust.

S is for – Shade! We have plenty of shady spots to enjoy a picnic in, read a book, or simply relax.
