      I should really go - it's just down the road.

      Is it an all-day thing?

        I'd recommend the whole day. I only got there about lunchtime and missed out on a lot.
        The Entrance Fee gets you a year's subscription though, so if you live locally you can take your time I suppose.

          I was lucky enough to get in on a guided tour.

          The local branch of my wife's professional body arranged it as a day-long visit and about 20 of us went. I cannot remember the cost, but it was a no-brainer. The price included a light lunch.

          We were guided around the house and the computer rooms. We got a lecture in the main hall in the house including the pre-history of the place that explained how it came to be bought and used.

          The history of the Poles' involvement was a revelation (they deserve the credit for the whole thing being possible in the first place for what they did prior to WWII).

          We also got some behind-the-scenes stuff.

          So, if someone in the area wants to arrange a ContractorUK Bletchley Park RLM...
