Wight Military & Heritage Museum

Did you know the Isle of Wight played a vital role in the protection of the United Kingdom during WW1 & WW2?

The Isle of Wight itself was a dangerous place to live in war time. Not only was it on the route for German bombers attacking the major ports of Portsmouth and Southampton but it attracted much unwanted attention from the Luftwaffe itself.

A visit to the Wight Military & Heritage Museum will give your pupils that chance to go back in time and envision how life was like for Islanders during the war.

View displays of genuine military uniforms, handle deactivated weapons and experience rides on a 432 APC (Armoured Personnel Carrier) or on a DAF Military 7.5T truck. Enquire today about your visit back to the Western Front.
