Group visits

We love Group Visits.  It is our opportunity to throw open our exhibitions and historic rooms for you to browse, learn and enjoy.  Our volunteer guides and stewards are on hand throughout to enhance the experience.  They truly bring the stories to life.  Some of them even worked here on Cold War rocketry and other research!

Scouts and other groups of young people and children can enjoy the site also at our public events. 

The Royal Gunpowder Mills is situated just off the M25, and has coach parking available on site.

  • Flat ground: accessible
  • Landtrain tours available

  • Scenic
  • Ideal for one-day or half-day visit

Tailor your tour - discuss with us your Group’s ideal day out.  We can provide refreshments to your choice and to your budget.  We can also provide a private room for the Group.
