Join us on Thursday 14 March for the first AtLAS lunchtime guided walk around the site – taking in the buildings, the facilities and the history.

Ian Read, long-term BT ‘resident’ and AtLAS Vice-Chairman, will be your guide. We’ll walk and talk about the site’s RAF past – before the Post Office Research Centre was built here, the main building complex including the tower and the acoustic test facilities, the satellite dishes, the submarine cable test facilities and the microwave ducts by the roadside, amongst other things.

Numbers will be limited to 20 people. Assuming it’s popular though we’ll do it again. It’s free and open to all Adastral Park people (not just AtLAS members).

IMPORTANT: For Adastral Park people ONLY – you must be an employee of BT or an Innovation Martlesham company, with a current valid Adastral Park security pass.

We’ll meet at 12:15 prompt in Room G/05 of the Antares building (turn left directly after the doors at the far end of the John Bray Theatre foyer) and see a short slideshow before setting out on a 30 – 40 minute walk. You should allow 50 – 60 minutes overall. It’s easy-going mostly flat terrain on well-drained grass, hard paths or roads.
