The aim is to protect and preserve the St Catherine's WW2 bunker and tunnels. We want to set up a museum inside to give visitors a unique experience. This rare opportunity would see a restoration of a previously underutilised historic site, allowing it to become a tourist destination for the benefit of future generations. 

The War Tunnels in St Catherine would primarily enlighten visitors on occupation history through tours, bespoke displays and interactive information boards. We plan to use next-generation technologies to inspire a new generation to become part of this experience.
