Bletchley Park Week

Bletchley Park 2025

Kellogg has a unique partnership with Bletchley Park. This special connection is celebrated annually with a series of events showcasing the importance of the work carried out at Bletchley Park during World War II, and its relevance today.

The Secret Lives of Women at Bletchley Park Lecture 2025

By 1945, women made up 75% of the staff at Bletchley Park, many of whom kept their wartime roles secret due to the Official Secrets Act, with some never revealing their involvement. In this session, Paddy O'Connell and Mary Heneghan, explore how these women defied societal expectations and kept their stories hidden, as well as how these histories have come to light.
