    We went as a school trip group of 40 students and 4 staff members and we had a great time. The students learnt a lot and found it very interesting.

    It's reasonably small, but pretty good and great value for money. You walk underground, which gives it an authentic feel. Then you watch a video which sets everything up and also gives you a feel for other places in the area to go and see. You walk through the tunnels, there is a lot of information in several languages, artefacts from the time of all varieties, and recreations of trench scenes. Finally you walk through an experience of lights and noise to recreate the feeling of war - not for the epileptics or nervous. I would recommend heading for the Canada memorial, also the Scottish highlanders memorial, to see some of the trenches 100 years later, as well as Le Grande Mine.

    Very nice low key museum with a good video and lots of artefacts. It’s set out under the church in a series of tunnels. An hour or so well spent as an introduction to the Somme.
