Bletchley Park, the home of British WWII codebreaking, has announced plans to cut up to 18 jobs due to lower attendance.
The visitor attraction and museum, located near Milton Keynes in England, plans to cut staffing costs by around 12 percent, Bletchley Park Trust has announced.
The trust, which currently employs 105 paid staff, will begin the process with a voluntary redundancy programme.
Via the BBC, the trust said it has "experienced lower visitor numbers in a challenging economic environment".

Iain Standen, chief executive of Bletchley Park Trust, said: "This is a difficult decision because the strength of Bletchley Park has always been its people.
"We have worked hard to reduce costs and increase income without affecting our people, but we have now reached the point where further action is necessary.
"Acting now gives us the best opportunity to create a sustainable organisation for the future and to reduce the risk of having to make further significant changes in the years ahead."
To drive attendance, Bletchley Park said it will open two "significant new exhibitions" in 2028 and 2029.

On view through late 2026 at Bletchley Park is an exhibition titled The Age of AI, which includes an AI life-sized version of Alan Turing.
"Bletchley Park has an extraordinary past and an important future. Our responsibility is to protect both," Standen added.
Earlier this year, a new museum dedicated to Britain's wartime intelligence operations called Trent Park House of Secrets opened in north London.
