The Royal Engineers Museum is like no other military museum you might have visited. It houses objects highlighting the enormous range of achievements of the Royal Engineers over the centuries from the creation of the Ordnance Survey to the beginnings of flying, from the designing of the Albert Hall to the dangerous on-going task of bomb-disposal. There is something for all the family - such as the exquisite Chinese embroideries, a World War I trench and dugout, a working model of a military railway and port, a Harrier jump-jet, and a Chatham house-interior in the Blitz. There are special facilities for wheelchair visitors - ample car parking, designated toilet, access ramps and a lift to an overhead viewing walkway for the courtyard displays. A lecture room equipped with a range of AV facilities and a school room with a handling collection and items of uniform for children to dress up, can be booked for group use. Open Mon-Thurs 10am-5pm, Sat ,Sun & BHM 11.30am-5pm. Friday by appointment only. Evening or out of hours group visits can be arranged. Superb venue for conferences and corporate entertainment. Wheelchair access throughout. Something for everyone.
