An immersive experience

This is the main historical tour of the Wellington Tunnels, the one that made the quarry famous. After being equipped with a helmet and an audio guide, the group descends 20 metres underground accompanied by a tour guide. The tour includes stops to comment on the soldiers' living quarters on the eve of the Battle of Arras. As the guided tour progresses, you will discover the soldiers' private lives and their daily routine before the assault on 9 April 1917. The ascent to the surface in the footsteps of the soldiers will allow you to experience the shock of the battle through a film projection.

Don't forget to book for the European Heritage Days. There is still a charge for visiting the Wellington Quarry during this event. Free admission only applies to certain sites that are usually closed to the public.
