Back to the 40s: Eden Camp’s Living History Weekend returns this Easter - see what's going on
Eden Camp is thrilled to announce the highly-anticipated return of its Living History Weekend, which is set to take place over Easter on Saturday April 19 and Sunday April 20.
The immersive event will transport visitors back to the 1940s, offering an opportunity to experience history brought to life.
The Living History Weekend will showcase an array of historical reenactors who will recreate the sights, sounds, and stories of World War II.
From British and US Army soldiers to German Prisoners of War, visitors will gain unique insights into the lives of those who lived through the era.
Re-enactors will also bring some of the displays to life, recreating scenes from the time and engaging with the public as they pass through some of the huts.
People can engage with reenactors, explore authentic uniforms, and learn about wartime challenges through interactive displays, engaging talks, and live demonstrations.
Nick Hill, Museum Manager at Eden Camp, said: “We are absolutely delighted to bring back the Living History Weekend for Easter this year.
"It’s an incredible opportunity for visitors to experience history in a truly engaging way, interacting with dedicated re-enactors and gaining first-hand insights into the past.
"We can’t wait to welcome families, history buffs, and all who are curious about the wartime era to join us for this special event.”
All event activities are included in the standard admission fee.
Visitors are encouraged to dress in period-appropriate civilian or military attire.
However, all weapons (including deactivated and blank-firing) are strictly prohibited, and out of respect for historical sensitivities, SS/Gestapo uniforms and Russian attire/equipment will not be permitted.
