Join BBOWT to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the reopening of Greenham & Crookham Commons!
The Commons have a rich history, once the site of a military air base that stored nuclear cruise missiles during the Cold War. This led to demonstrations by the famous Greenham Women movement in 1981. Greenham Common’s airfield was reopened to the public on 8 April 2000 after decades of military occupation. Join BBOWT, 25 years later, to acknowledge this landmark anniversary.
There is an exciting programme of events and activities for everyone to get involved in – from family trails and talks, to pond-dipping and guided walks! The day will run from 10am-4pm, please see the event timetable for details of all the activities taking place.
The History of Greenham: The Peace Women, 2:30pm-3:15pm, Control Tower, No booking required, but limited space available.
