Big Open Day – Take aim with the Gurkhas! 

Take aim with the Gurkhas! 

Second floor of The Gurkha Museum

The Gurkhas are famous around the world for their courage, skill and pinpoint shooting accuracy.  Now it’s your turn to test your aim!  Step up to our interactive shooting simulators and see if you’ve got what it takes to shoot like a Gurkha. 

• Alongside the fun and activities, explore a special display of the Gurkhas’ legendary weapons – from rare rifles and sidearms to the iconic khukuri. 
• Discover how these fearless fighters use steel, skill and courage to take on the toughest battlefields in history. 
• Discover more about the plans to revitalise the public galleries, known by the Nepalese name Project Kaida. 

As part of the WMM’s Big Day Out on Saturday 20 September, The Gurkha Museum offers hands-on history for the whole family – come and take your best shot!
