International Bomber Command Centre

The International Bomber Command Centre (IBCC) has been created to provide a world-class facility to serve as a point for recognition, remembrance and reconciliation for Bomber Command.

Lincolnshire earned the title of ‘Bomber County’ when the Headquarters of both 1 and 5 Groups and a third of all the UK’s stations were based in the county. This deep connection and linked history defined the location for the new centre on Canwick Hill, to the south of Lincoln in the north of the District.

“This inspiring centre for remembrance is located just outside Lincoln”

IBCC is the only single national or international facility that exists to commemorate Bomber Command. The height of the memorial spire is the wingspan of the Avro Lancaster and the centre tells the history and heritage of Bomber Command for present and future generations through interactive displays and an extensive digital archive.

After taking in some of the poignant stories of this unique venue, there’s a chance to unwind and enjoy some refreshments in The Hub Cafe. Meet with friends or simply relax and enjoy amazing views of the Spire whilst sampling some of the fresh food and drink on offer. The International Bomber Command Centre has quickly become established as one of the best visitor centres in the country and is a must during your visit to the Heart of Lincs.
