Easter Living History Weekend at Eden Camp!

Eden Camp has announced the return of its Living History Weekend, set to take place on 4th-5th April. This immersive event will transport visitors back to the 1940s, offering an unforgettable 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. Visitors can get on their dancing shoes and enjoy live wartime singing and entertainment over the duration of the weekend as the whole site is transported back to the 1940s.

Attendees can engage with reenactors, explore authentic uniforms, and learn about wartime challenges through interactive displays, engaging talks, and live demonstrations. Visitors will be able to find out about the select group of courageous individuals whose job it was to defuse unexploded bombs, and listen in and watch the work of RAF personnel in the Ops Room as they send aircraft off on sorties and operations.

The event coincides with an action-packed Easter holiday with a lineup of family-friendly activities from 30th March to 12th April 2026. Visitors can explore wartime Britain through hands-on fun, immersive exhibits, and engaging storytelling, with the Great Easter Egg-scape Trail and interactive workshops like Carrots on a Stick and Propaganda Egg Art.

Nick Hill, Museum Manager at Eden Camp, said: “Our Living History Weekend is a fantastic opportunity for visitors to experience and engage with history.
