Eden Camp, the only remaining prisoner of war camp in Britain, is holding another of its Living History Weekends over Easter on Saturday 19th and Sunday 20th April.

The immersive event, staged among the original POW huts at the 1942 complex near Malton, North Yorkshire, promises to transport visitors back to the 1940s, offering an unforgettable opportunity to experience life in WWII Britain.

An array of historical re-enactors 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 POW huts.

Attendees can see authentic uniforms whilst learning about wartime challenges courtesy of interactive displays, engaging talks, and live demonstrations.

Nick Hill, Museum Manager at Eden Camp, said: “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, making this an affordable day out for families. Visitors are encouraged to dress in period-appropriate civilian or military attire to enhance the experience.

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.

Ticket prices: £19 per adult (£17 online), £15 for children (ages 5-16) (£14 online).
