Book Royal Signals Museum tickets & discover the exciting story of Communications and Information in Dorset

Located at Blandford Camp, a real working army camp, the museum showcases the history of the Royal Corps of Signals, the British Army's experts in military communications. Blend technology with history as you head to the frontline and discover the world of battlefield communications. 

To fight effectively and win battles, commanders must receive constant updates from their Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) and Electronic Warfare (EW) units while issuing Command and Control (C2) orders to their forces. They must also ensure that these communications are secure and not intercepted by the enemy.

The Royal Signals Museum takes you on a chronological journey through the electromagnetic spectrum, showcasing the evolution of innovative communication systems - from early visual signalling to the cutting-edge technology that shapes and controls the cyber battlespace.

It's interactive, packed with gadgets, and lets you step into the shoes of the British Army’s comms experts, the Royal Corps of Signals. Whether you're geeking out over tech, military history, or just looking for something different to explore, this museum is where past meets future.
