The Royal Engineers Museum, located on Prince Arthur Road in Gillingham, will reopen
to the public on August 15th. Operating with reduced opening hours, pre-booked
entrance times and a one way system in place, the Museum hopes to encourage locals
to return back to the Museum.

RE Museum Director, Rebecca Nash, states: “We are delighted to welcome visitors back
to the Royal Engineers Museum, Gillingham. These unparalleled times have exacted a
great toll on so many lives and our target has been to ensure a safe, enjoyable
environment for our dedicated team and customers alike. We’ve thoroughly prepared our
historic site to adhere to the guidelines laid out by the Government and to achieve the
We’re Good To Go standard. The relaunch of the Museum’s galleries & services will
hopefully encourage our visitors to be further inspired by the history of the Royal
Engineers innovative approach to unprecedented challenges”.

Additional measures include an enhanced cleaning system and the installation of hygiene
screens & sanitiser stations in the Museum’s reception and galleries. The Museum’s café
will also reopen with a reduced menu and fewer tables to accommodate social distancing
measures.

The Museum has also changed it’s visiting policy for members of the Royal Engineers
Association; once it has reopened the Museum will be free for all REA members to visit. If
