CEMA Trenches
Distinguished historian and broadcaster Andy Robertshaw’s latest adventure is called The Centre for Experimental Military Archaeology (CEMA). Life-sized replica trenches are being created at the Kent Event Centre in Detling, near Maidstone, which offer the opportunity to explore what life in a Great War trench was like. It is also an ideal film location with several short films having been made their already.
​
Look out for Open Days throughout the year when guided tours of the trenches and dugout are offered to give you glimpses into daily life in a Great War trench. Being IN a trench is a very different experience to looking at photos of them and the costumed guides are very happy to answer your questions or help you to understand what you are looking at. I learn something new each time I go and I plan to display my trench models there during some of their open days.
