Bletchley Park
Saturday, 25th and Sunday, 26th July 2026
Sherwood Drive, Bletchley, Milton Keynes MK3 6EB
Long before Bletchley Park’s large scale codebreaking work started, Polish cryptologists had already achieved what was deemed impossible; breaking German military Enigma. This festival shines a light on that shared history, where ideas, people and ingenuity crossed borders, in the face of uncertainty.
Uncover these connections for yourself, from hands-on challenges inspired by early codebreaking techniques to expert insights into the minds behind the mission of breaking Enigma. Throughout the weekend, enjoy live music, performances and taste the flavours of Poland. A special evening event will bring together Dr Marek Grajek and Sir Dermot Turing to explore the Polish codebreaking story in greater depth,
This event is in partnership with the Polish Cultural Institute, the Embassy of the Republic of Poland in London and the Enigma Cipher Centre in Poznań.
