Selling fast

Royal Air Force Holmpton has over 60 years of history - During this time over 15,000 personnel have passed through this establishment - So there is a fair amount of basis for paranormal activity

This military site was originally known at RAF Partington serving the forces since WW2. It was during the 1940's that plans came to light for a new radar system to be installed at various sites, RAF Partington being one of them.

As the site was being commissioned and the eventual radar system installed the location grew in size as around 350 personnel worked there.

Various outbuildings were installed including housing, a cinema, a chapel, canteen and a medical centre to name a few. It was a real hive of daily life and activity.

The original Radar Station has long since gone, leaving behind just 31 acres of green fields and a few small buildings.

For years this place has remained a secret even in the local area, where most people simply did not know of the existence or purpose of such a substantial facility. Just one or two of them may have worked here but even today they 'cannot' tell their story.

Building started at Holmpton in 1951 and the bunker opened in 1954 serving until 1975 as an RAF Master Radar Station. In 1985 it was massively refurbished to form a new RAF Headquarters and closed in 1991 with the ending of the Cold War.

In 2003 RAF Holmpton became the home of a specialist archive unit holding records of all Cold War Underground establishments built in the UK between 1945 and the present day. As the archive provides a public reading room it was decided to open up much of the bunker for public tours, and these started in 2004 with regular updates each year.

The guardroom is really all that can be seen today on the surface at Holmpton as the main building is some distance underground and covers about 26,000sq ft. (about the size of a supermarket or cinema).

Our Investigation has access to 85% of the site, excluding the offices and some plant areas due to high voltage etc. The building includes the following: - 3 operation rooms, Situation room, Communication Centre, Computer Rooms, Command Pit, Dormitories, Canteen, Officers Mess Room, Plant Rooms, and Kitchen and Offices.

This site is very large with many different paranormal areas located upon it. With reports of servicemen seen many times in different areas. There is one particular gentleman that is seen quite regularly in the operation room and witnessed by multiple people at the same time.

There is also said to be an airman who wanders the main building, pushing people out of his way. Feelings of being watched, light anomalies and uncomfortable feelings have also been felt.

Dare you Join us????

Please note:

The building at Holmpton was designed for the Military and is therefore a different environment to that which visitors would normally encounter. The temperature remains at about 65f and so we recommend that visitors bring warm clothing. The building will be dark throughout the night, so for those who may be affected by claustrophobia please consider your visit carefully.
