Visit The Staffordshire Regiment Museum and experience their WWI trench system that offers one of the most authentic "Great War" experiences in the UK.

Open from November, the 500ft trench system is a fascinating example of how things were and contains scrape holes, living quarters, gun positions, first aid station, tunnel and more!

Home to some fabulous collections, The Staffordshire Regiment Museum also displays weapons, vehicles, medals, letters from the home front written by ordinary soldiers and much more!

Staffed by serving and ex-army personnel, and volunteers, who know the reality of military combat, you are sure to really get a feel of what life was like.
