The afternoon of Sunday 22nd March 2026 will see the return of our popular live at the museum event as a prelude to the museum re-opening for the 2026 season.
Travel back in time to the 1980’s and experience the sights and sounds of a combat alert at RAF Bentwaters during the Cold War in a unique night at the Bentwaters Cold War Museum.
Join our uniformed re-enactors for a ‘Live’ afternoon in the Command Post Operations Room, and watch from the gallery as they re-enact a scenario depicting real combat operations. It’s an opportunity to see what really happened in the Cold War and the perfect opportunity to take some very unique photos!
The event starts at 14.30pm with the ”combat alert” repeated three times during the afternoon, with each session limited to just 30 people, however whichever time slot you book you are welcome to join us for the whole afternoon to look around the museum exhibition rooms, enjoy our outdoor displays floodlit for the evening, or enjoy refreshments in our diner which will be open from 14.30 until 6pm when the event finishes.
There are 30 places available for each timed live re-enactment at 15:00,16:00 & 17:00.
Tickets can be booked HERE
