About

Langham Dome is one of the most popular heritage museums, that is unique in telling the story of the first-ever military simulators. Also it tells the history of RAF Langham, with its years of active history, starting with its founding in the early days of World War II.

The museum is suitable for all age groups with many features aimed at children. Visitors enjoy learning about the skills taught to shoot down enemy aircraft, and are able to test out their skills on the Browning gun simulator.

Professionally made movies are projected onto the wall and tell the history of the site.

Know Before You Go

Dogs are not allowed in the Dome unless they are assistance dogs, as the acoustics and gun simulator causes dogs pain. It's like an indoor fireworks party.

There is a dog-friendly garden with picnic tables and innovative information tables.

Snacks, hot drinks, toilet and gift shop are available at the museum.
