JAMES BOND!
In 2002, James Bond staged a daring escape in the film “Die Another Day”. He manages to barely escape the sticky situation by commandeering a hovercraft – chased by several baddies, also in hovercraft!
In your visit you’ll be able to see two of the hovercraft used in the filming, and find out how they managed to use creative means to film the sequences and how, for practical reasons, they settled for Aldershot instead of real North Korean minefields.

Just a couple of our fabulous exhibits!

See for yourselves! We’re open today AND tomorrow, Bank Holiday Monday!

Family fun! When we say family, we mean it! Dogs are welcome too!
