Today tickets have gone on sale for our event at Tottington Manor in March this year.

There are only 50 tickets and some of these have already sold so please buy quickly if you want to come along.

The day will include at least three talks by experts, a book signing by Sussex Auxiliary author Stewart Angell, a single course lunch, a small aux shop, a virtual tour of the site and underground tunnels and demonstrations from Auxiliary Unit re-enactors ‘Behind Enemy Lines‘. More info on the day can be seen below. Whilst the day is open to all we would advise children under the age of twelve do not attend due to the nature of the talks and the fact people will be seated for some time.

The food at Tottington Manor is amazing andery filling.  We only had a small portion but we very full.

We look forward to seeing you on March 12th.

Come and learn all about Winston Churchill’s Secret Army at Tottington Manor.

During WW2 Tottington Manor in West Sussex was used an important part of Churchill’s secret Auxiliary Units. The Auxiliary Units were set up to hamper a successful invasion by the German army. Seven secret bunkers exist under the manor, with tunnels and escape routes into the fields.

The Coleshill Auxiliary Research Team (CART) will be holding an open day at the Manor with talks and tours throughout the day.

Why not come along and learn more about this most secret of army?
