World-class site for recognition, remembrance and reconciliation of Bomber Command

The International Bomber Command Centre is a world-class site that provides a space for recognition, remembrance, reflection and education about the Bomber Command Unit. Bomber Command suffered the highest losses of any unit during World War II and before the creation of IBCC struggled for recognition.

Immerse yourself in interactive exhibits telling stories of those involved on all sides, discover recordings, documents and the sacrifices of those who united their efforts to protect the freedom we enjoy today.

Discover the Memorial Spire at the International Bomber Command Centre, measuring 102ft high and 16ft wide, the wingspan of the Avro Lancaster Bomber and the width of a Lancaster wing. View spectacular views of the monument lit at night and experience stunning views across Lincoln from the memorial site, especially of Lincoln Cathedral. A significant and poignant viewpoint as the Cathedral was a key sighting point for the crews flying from Lincolnshire and for many it was their last sight of Britain.

The Chadwick Centre

Discover three exhibition galleries. Immerse yourself in state of the art interactive exhibits and learn stories of those involved on all sides.

The Peace Gardens

Visit two peace gardens, The Lincolnshire Peace Gardens and the International Peace Gardens set in ten acres of beautifully landscaped grounds for quiet reflection, contemplation and remembrance.
