St Catherine’s Bunker is a remarkable German bunker and tunnel complex that is a testament to the German hold on the British Channel Islands during the Second World War. By chance, it became strategically positioned and formed a crucial part of the German defences after the Allied invasion of France. A visit to the site perfectly complements understanding the history of the invasion of Jersey and the liberation. Bunker Entry is £12.50 per person. Children under 10 are free, but they are restricted from handling the weapons and artefacts due to the risk of injury to the child and or the item. Children 10-16 must be supervised at all times. Funds raised from your visit to the bunker go toward this winter's restoration work.

What to expect:
​
We provide a 10-15 minute tour of the tunnel and bunker from 10:15, ​followed by tours every 30 minutes thereafter. The tour explains the project and our health and safety rules that must be followed. You are then free to explore the Bunker, Standby room and our armory at your own pace. The average time our clients are at the site is 50 minutes. We have multiple displays explaining the invasion and liberation of Jersey, as well as stories of the Allied soldiers, sailors, and airmen who fought against the German forces here. Then enjoy a unique hands-on access to World War II weaponry that has been made safe for handling and display. There is also a significant collection of World War II artefacts. If the weather is good, expect to have a go with some of the German & British optics we have! Your entry ticket cost helps cover the expenses of all the additional restoration work we are planning, as well as ongoing maintenance. We also often have vehicles from World War II on display in our yard, and our shed features a fantastic coffee and gift shop. We are working on stocking military surplus and World War II collectables to complement the many locally made gifts we offer in the shop.
