This is a brilliant couple of hours, immersing yourself in the history of WW2. It is a little difficult enabling a person with a heavy wheelchair in the sandstone, and parts are inaccessible for disabled wheelchair users, but the people I supported to see this who were in wheelchairs still enjoyed it so much.

Took my 3 year old son to see Santa and the fairy at the Stockport Air Raid Shelter. Magical seeing my son's face light up at every turn!

A very interesting tour and fascinating to see what people put up with in order to escape teh bombing threat. Hard to imagine otherwise what this could have been like. Well worth a visit.

we took an evening tour in 2011 and we were very impressed by the knowledge of the tour guide - quite a long tour - over 2 hours but worth every minute to hear about the history of the shelters
