Handling History
To mark 80 years since the end of the Second World War, go behind the scenes at the Shrine. Kids can explore real artefacts and discover history through hands-on school holiday activity, Handing History.
In this guided session, kids will handle objects and try on uniforms and hats from the Second World War. Explore ration cards, equipment and hear stories about life on the front line and at home in an immersive experience that brings history to life.
Perfect for kids aged 8–12. Children must be accompanied by an adult or guardian.
