Tunnel Tours 2025
As we previously stated in March, we advertised on Facebook our planned April 27th Tunnel Tour Day, which was responded to by hundreds of applicants. We decided to start booking places for the April 27th tour on a first-come, first-served basis and quickly filled the tour, consequently we booked most of the overflow onto an additional date on 22nd June which was also quickly filled.
We will be arranging a second overflow date to clear up the initial applications before we announce further tours. We will not be making any further bookings until this is achieved.
UPDATED 10th June. Both the overflow tours on the 22nd June & the 20th July are now fully booked from previous applications.
It is hoped that an additional overflow tour on the 19th August will finally clear the backlog.
THERE WILL BE NO FURTHER BOOKINGS AVAILABLE UNTIL AFTER THAT DATE
