Later in the year, visitors can enjoy ‘Back to the 1940s’ on October 10 and 11, Spy Week during the October half term from October 24 to 29, and Halloween Street from October 30 to November 1.

Eden Camp offers visitors the chance to explore history through personal stories and authentic re-enactments, all set within the original buildings of a former World War II Prisoner of War camp.

The museum is also introducing new ticket pricing to improve value for visitors who pre-book online.

Admission will be £17 for adults and £15 for children aged five to 16 when booked in advance.

On-the-day prices are £20 for adults and £18 for children, with concessions and family tickets also available.

Mr Hill said: “We can’t wait to welcome you to Eden Camp this year, and our new pricing means there’s even more reason to plan ahead”
