ENIGMA: The Machine. The Code. The Codebreakers.

Dr Mark Baldwin presents the Enigma machine’s role in wartime intelligence, followed by a hands-on demonstration with a surviving Second World War machine.

Dr Mark Baldwin, also billed as “Doctor Enigma”, traces how the Enigma machine worked, the challenge it posed to Allied intelligence and the codebreakers’ efforts to decipher its messages. The two-part evening includes a 20-minute interval. Afterwards, visitors can gather around a surviving Second World War Enigma machine for a demonstration and a closer look. The published ticket price is £18. The booking page showed the event as sold out when captured on 20 October 2026.
