Bentley Priory Museum
Tuesday 15th July 2025
£49.00 Per Person
The Battle of Britain was a decisive battle during World War II, and was fought in the skies above Britain between 10 July and 31 October 1940. Had the Battle been lost, Britain would have almost certainly been invaded by Nazi Germany.
Best known for its role as Headquarters Fighter Command during the Battle of Britain in 1940, Bentley Priory has a fascinating history. Once home to a cell of Augustinian Friars, it is believed to have been founded in 1170 by Ranulf de Glanville, who became Chief Justiciary of England.
The RAF were Bentley Priory’s longest-serving residents, occupying the Mansion House and grounds until they left in 2008. The museum then opened in 2013 with an extensive collection – predominantly of objects from Bentley during its time as an RAF base.
Learn how Fighter Command operated and see the replicas of a Spitfire and Hurricane in the grounds. Visitors can also learn about the important work carried out in the underground bunker from World War Two through to the Cold War. In 2020 the museum received a National Lottery Heritage Fund grant to record and share the memories of RAF and WAAF personnel who worked at the top secret bunker at RAF Bentley Priory.
Highclere Castle
Thursday 17th July 2025
£65.00 Per Person
Join us on this fascinating day out to Highclere Castle in Berkshire to visit the Castle and Gardens.
Fans of period dramas will love this excursion to Downton Abbey’s Highclere Castle. This incredible Grade I listed building is waiting to share hundreds of years of history with you.
The first written records of the estate date back to 749 when an Anglo-Saxon King granted the estate to the Bishops of Winchester. Bishop William of Wykeham built a beautiful medieval palace and gardens in the park. Later on, in 1679, the palace was rebuilt as Highclere Place House when it was purchased by Sir Robert Sawyer, the direct ancestor of the current Earl of Carnarvon.
In 1842, Sir Charles Barry, who also designed the Houses of Parliament, transformed Highclere House into the present day Highclere Castle. Today it is considered to be one of the finest Victorian homes still in existence, which houses fine furniture and works of art. Today, the Castle is the home of the 8th Earl and Countess of Carnarvon and is known around the world as the real home of ‘Downton Abbey’.
