Information - The Clifford Road Tunnels 2026 Open Days

A WWII Home Front Experience – PREVIOUSLY KNOWN AS THE CLIFFORD ROAD AIR RAID SHELTER MUSEUM

Underneath the playground at Clifford Road Primary School there are three WWII tunnel networks waiting to be explored!

The tunnels are located under the playground at Clifford Road Primary School in Ipswich. Other shelter tunnels have recently been discovered under the playground, left untouched for 80 years! We aim to bring the history under the playground to a wider, inclusive audience.

We are open to the public from from 1100 am to 3pm and are located at Clifford Road Primary School, Ipswich, IP4 1PJ. Entrance on Tennyson Road, parking available in surrounding streets.

No need to book, cash and card are accepted. Please come and visit and support our unique heritage site under the playground.

Refreshments and home made cakes available to buy.

Wheelchair access

Please note that due to the steep and narrow steps down into the tunnels themselves, and the uneven nature of the floor in the tunnels, the tunnels are not accessible for wheelchair users or those with mobility issues. You are still very welcome to view some of our artifacts that we have in our welcome room above the tunnel, and enjoy a tea and some cake.

  • £5 adults
  • £2.50 children
  • £4.00 concessions
