About this event
Step into the past with this Hands-on History session, where you’ll engage directly with objects from our handling collection. Guided by Museum Educators, this interactive experience brings to life the personal stories of soldiers, nurses, and civilians during World War One. Discover how everyday items reveal extraordinary insights into life both on the front lines and at home.
Handling sessions can be expected to take from 5 to 15 minutes. Children must be accompanied at all times while onsite.
From 14:30 - 16:00 at Museum Reception
