You’ll need to decode Morse signals and uncover the location of the secret spy base. Two time slots are available, however spaces are limited to 12 groups for each. Secure your place and treat your Dad, Grandad, or a father figure to a fascinating day out, by going to bletchleypark.org.uk  and selecting the ‘What’s on’ option in the main menu. The activity is free to take part in, however entry to Bletchley Park is required. Don’t forget that RSGB members get free access to the historic site as a membership benefit.
