Hinkley Point visitor centre
The business links between Cannington Court and the Hinkley Point C project meant that we were an obvious location choice for the Hinkley Point Visitor Centre: nearer to the population centres and major communications links yet close enough to the construction site to run tours. Please use the contact details below to enquire about availability.
The visitor centre experience
The Hinkley Point Visitors Centre highlights the importance of the energy mix and how nuclear power plays an important part in the UK's energy security. The centre has many interactive displays and visitors are encouraged to explore how electricity is created in a fun and interactive way.
People of all ages can learn why there is an overwhelming need to produce low carbon energy and how EDF is helping Britain achieve net zero through the construction of Hinkley Point C and the use of other renewable sources such as wind and solar power.
Once you have finished your visit why not pop along to our brassage facility for some light refreshments. Payment is contactless – no cash please.
Come and meet our knowledgeable team at Hinkley Point Visitor Centre who will take you on a journey of Hinkley Point C.
Let us take you on a virtual tour of the construction site where you can interact with a map of site or just watch our drone footage as it navigates around Big Carl, the world’s largest crane!
