Ever wondered what happened behind the wire at Bridgend? We are opening the doors to Island Farm for a special open day.
From the home of the "Munitionettes" to the high-stakes "Golden Cage" of German Field Marshals, come walk through four layers of history:
🛠️ The Workers: The secret dormitory for ROF Bridgend (1938-43).
🇺🇸 The GI’s: The American 28th Infantry’s final stop before D-Day.
🏃 The Escape: The site of the largest German POW escape in UK history (1945).
🎖️ The Generals: The elite "Special Camp 11" for Hitler's top military brass.
Stand in the original Hut 9, see the escape tunnel site, and discover why this quiet spot in Wales was once one of the most important locations in Britain.
📅 WHEN: 18/19 April 2026
📍 WHERE: Hut 9, Island Farm, Bridgend.
