The Filton Blitz Experience

The experience runs most days, though times vary and places are limited. We recommend arriving by 11am and asking about the Filton Blitz Experience at admissions upon arrival.

Discover the new Filton Blitz Experience, taking you into the museum’s newly opened air raid shelter, an original wartime structure where Bristol Aeroplane Company workers once sought safety during bombing raids. Learn about the real stories of those who lived and worked through the Second World War, and how they helped build the aircraft that shaped the outcome of the war.

Tickets for the Filton Blitz Experience are £4pp and are available to purchase from the admissions desk. We recommend arriving by 11am.

The experience is recommended for ages 10 and over. Parental discretion is advised. Unfortunately, due to the narrow entrance to the air raid shelter, the Filton Blitz Experience is not accessible to wheelchair users.
