Embark on a captivating journey as we invite you to join us for a guided tour of one of the historic gun emplacements which makes up part of the remarkable Batterie Mirus fortification. This exclusive opportunity grants you access to a hidden gem of military history, revealing a labyrinthine of once-secret corridors and rooms of the largest gun emplacements built in the Channel Islands during WW2.
Hear about how the extraordinary guns were transported to the island and eventually to the site and view exclusive photographs from a private collection. This is an experience not to be missed.
