Was really not sure what to expect as we approached as it is middle of nowhere but turned the bend and there it was! Really interesting part of ww2 history and some interesting articles about the restoration and the life on the airfield. Really glad we have seen it and glad the ticket money contributes to its on going maintenance and future. Really great 90 mins spent there, thank you #wewillrememberthem

Don't be fooled by the tiny size of this cracking museum. We spent a fascinating 2.5 hours here. The superb displays inside tell the story of the dome and the airfield in a beautifully succinct way, and the volunteers have worked with a professional design company which gives the whole museum an air of quality and professionalism. Your children will love it as much as you do, with plenty of interactive elements and playful touches. You can have a go at trying out the AA gun simulator which was the purpose of the dome. Friendly and knowledgable staff and a cracking little gift shop with quality products at very affordable prices complete the picture. I also love the fact that it is so hidden away which gives the journey a sense of adventure! Highly recommended, a must-see for anyone, not just military enthusiasts.

Spent two hours there learning about this little piece of history. Tells the stories of how anti aircraft gunners were recruited and trained.
Curators knowledge was impressive along with the stories and interactive films.

Just a small dome that was used to train gunners ,there was a gun in the centre of the room and there was a projector that showed pictures of flying aircraft on the wall of the dome and the gunners had to practise pointing the gun at the projected images, the wall was just filled these days with war snippets and stories to read ,it took me about 5 minutes to realise how utterly boring this experience was , there was a mock up of a Spitfire alongside this dome and that was it , as far as I am concerned a total waste of time and money.

Hello Kev. I’m sorry to hear how underwhelmed you were by your visit to the Dome. I think 5 minutes was totally inadequate to take in the wealth of information held at this most intriguing museum. The Dome is one of 45 built during WW2. Only 6 remain and ours is the only one to be renovated and opened to the public at a cost of over 3/4 million pounds. We have 3 specially commissioned films narrated by Stephen Fry which explain the unique story of the Dome and it’s connection to RAF Langham and the surrounding area. The “Plastic Gun” is in-fact a genuine deactivated Browning 303 machine gun which were used for training the Anti Aircraft Gunners back in WW2. The “Pictures of flying aircraft on the wall” is the original training film that was used, and is the heart of the concept that was rushed through by the War Cabinet at the time, as it realised how important it was to the war effort.
The “Mock up of a Spitfire” is indeed a replica, donated by RAF Hendon. At a cost of around £58,000 it is mounted onto a plinth to always turn into the wind and is probably the largest weather vane in the UK! If you get the opportunity to come again, perhaps this information could help you appreciate how important it is to keep uniquely historic buildings like these intact for future generations and as a memorial to the 150 men that gave their lives at Langham, so that we can express our views freely! Fortunately, for all our volunteers who believe in what we have created, your hurtful views are not shared by the majority of our visitors. We are proud to have been awarded the 2022 Trip Advisor Travellers Choice, making us one of the top 10% of attractions worldwide!
The Manager. Langham Dome Museum.

I had seen the Langham Dome advertised and was keen to visit. I didn’t fully understand what the Dome was prior to my visit but I like military history. The Dome is located on the apron of the former Langham airfield. The Dome itself is small and so I didn’t expect my visit to take long. What a fantastic surprise. The Dome tells the story of the airfield and the history of the Dome itself. At the beginning of WWII it was recognised machine gunners needed to be more accurate in order to shoot down enemy planes. The solution was a collaboration with Kodak that effectively created the forerunner of todays video games and AI. About 40 domes were built. The one at Langham is unique as it’s the only one the public can go in. The Dome was a 360deg cinema enabling Gunners to practice on a mock-up of a machine gun by firing ‘rounds’ at planes projected onto the ceiling of the Dome. This was a real find and I learned such a lot. My visit was much longer than I anticipated. Fantastic. Fully recommended.

We found this by accident when we were cycling past. The guides were so welcoming and very knowledgeable. It really was fascinating to learn about the dome and its role during the war. I would thoroughly recommend visiting this gem in the Norfolk countryside.

Well worth searching this little museum out, a fantastic resource detailing an almost forgotten facet of military history - the training of anti-aircraft gunners.
The modest admission fee is worth it just to see the interior this unusual structure, whose history is brought to life by very enthusiastic and friendly volunteers who are clearly passionate about the museum.
Lots of exhibits to see and you can even try your hand at 1940's virtual reality by trying to shoot down enemy planes.
If you are in the area, please make time in your day to visit the dome, you won't be disappointed!

Can dogs enter?
Dogs are allowed in the Dome, but many find it rather unsettling due to its strange acoustics. Most visitors choose to leave their dogs tied to one of our picnic tables while they are in the Dome. We have a water bowl near the entrance.
