Plan Your Family Adventure at Eden Camp this Summer Holiday, 20 July to 1 September!
Explore the captivating world of history at Eden Camp with 22 immersive huts, each offering a unique glimpse into the past. Bring the whole family for an unforgettable educational experience filled with engaging activities and interactive workshops that make learning fun for everyone.
Family-Friendly Educational Workshops
Join the fun with our free, family-friendly educational workshops happening throughout the school holidays! Dive into exciting activities together and make learning a blast for everyone.
Peg Planes – Every Wednesday: 24 & 31 July, 7, 14, 21 & 28 August
Step into our Eden Camp Arts & Crafts workshop and create your very own Peg Plane to take home! Craft a peg plane from scratch, decorate it to your heart’s content, and once the paint is dry, your plane is ready to fly (or display)! Fly it around or turn it into a fridge magnet—it’s fun for all ages and a great way to get creative while learning about Eden Camp.
WW1 Tack Biscuit Making – Every Thursday: 25 July, 1, 8, 15, 22 & 29 August
Join in the cooking fun and make your own tack biscuits! Discover how WW1 soldiers relied on these long-lasting, albeit not-so-tasty, biscuits during trench warfare. Test your taste buds and see if some Bovril makes them more palatable!
Eggbox Tanks – Fridays: 26 July, 9 & 23 August
Transform ordinary egg boxes into exciting mini tanks in our children’s craft workshop! Kids will learn to repurpose egg cartons, adding colourful paint, recycled materials, and simple decorations to create unique toy tanks. This hands-on session encourages creativity and environmental awareness through recycling. All materials are provided, and everyone will get to take home their egg box tank masterpiece!
A great day out
Families visiting the museum will also journey back in time exploring the 22 original Prisoner of War huts which house immersive displays for them to discover the sights, sounds, and smells of what life was like on both the Home Front and Front Lines. Each hut covers different aspects such as The Blitz, Rationing, the Home Guard, and more each telling their own story.
Tickets for this popular attraction are £17 for adults, £15 online, and children 5 to 16 are £14, or £13 online offering families and visitors to North Yorkshire an affordable and unforgettable day out.
