About Us
Drakelow Tunnels is a unique and historic site offering an unforgettable experience for visitors, event organisers, and enthusiasts alike.
At Drakelow Tunnels Museum, we are dedicated to preserving and sharing the rich history of this underground complex. With its remarkable transformation over the decades, Drakelow has played a vital role in Britain’s past – from a WW2 Underground Shadow Factory to a Top Secret Cold War Bunker.
Today, we offer a range of tours and experiences for visitors to explore parts of the tunnels and learn about their fascinating history.
Please note: the museum is a work in progress.
As a volunteer-led project with no outside funding, everything you see has been restored by our volunteers, bit by bit, over time. Your visit supports this ongoing effort – from tidying up, providing guided tours, social media, and restoring new areas to building future exhibits.
