Free drop-in Lego play sessions will be open to children under 16 at the Uxbridge venue, from Thursday 31 October until Saturday 2 November, 11am until 3pm.

Book your preferred date ahead of time, then pop along and join in the fun. There will also be activities laid on for under-fives, including fun trails and a 'crafty mess hall' for the creative little ones. 

Visit on Friday 1 November and join the family tour of the Second World War bunker hidden 60-feet below the ground, at 11am. Under-16s go free.

The ever-popular 'Pipsqueaks!' toddler story-telling sessions return on Friday 1 November and Saturday 2 November at 10.30am. Children aged 18 months to 3-years-old can join Pilot Tally-Ho and friends as they go on adventures, make new friends and sing-along to some favourite nursery rhymes. Sessions cost £2.50 and can be booked in advance at discover.hillingdon.gov.uk.

Cllr Eddie Lavery, Hillingdon Council's Cabinet Member for Residents' Services, said: "There's always something fun going on at the bunker, so pop down during half-term and see what this fantastic venue has to offer.

"It's a fascinating place for families to visit with a comprehensive programme of events that runs all year and caters for everyone, not just those with an interest in history."
