It's the last episode for our podcasting hostess Harriet Stainton! She's signing off with a special podcast alongside Archivist Summer talking about the preparations going on in Hut 25 at Eden Camp.

Summer has been renovating the Hut in preparation for Technically Creative's new human torpedo experience.

She reveals what's been found in the depths of the archives and what she’s excited to display to the public - including a tin bath!

Podcast host Harriet Stainton is joined by Marc Broadbent from Technically Creative - the brilliant minds behind the popular Blitz experience at Eden Camp.

Marc talks reinventing the personal stories and the research behind recreating the event and striking a balance between dramatic effect and overkill.

We also preview future projects and the human torpedo experience that is set to be unveiled in a brand new hut in the near future…

We're kicking off the New Year with a game - but in true Eden Camp style, it's from the 1940's...

'Blackout' is set in London as players travel from one end of the board to the other whilst avoiding each other and collecting key items from WWII in the process.

Host Harriet is joined by Summer and Jackie to see who will be the victor and to compare how games have changed since the war... 

This month we have guest hosts for a special edition of the Eden Camp podcast!

We're joined by Gemma & Michael Johnson from Junior Paranormal Events who discuss their spookier way of exploring history with the next generation!

You can find out more about their not-for-profit venture and their upcoming events on their website: www.juniorparanormalevents.co.uk

James and Rocky from Be Amazing Arts are back to chat with Harriet about the recent promenade production of A Suitcase for Teddy and the upcoming projects.

We’re very excited to be hosting an original adaptation of J. M. Barrie’s Peter Pan from the BAA team, which will set during the war exploring many topics of childhood adventure which are just as relevant and poignant today. Listen to the team to see how you can get hold of some tickets!

Frank is back with some site updates from Eden Camp, what we’ve been up behind the scenes and what we can look forward to from the Eden Camp Heritage Restorations Team!

We even get treated to Frank’s hosting skills by delivering his first ever outro – what talent!

Heard about our archive activities?

Now you've got no excuse... We've let Summer out of the archive to tell us more behind the scenes bits and how you can get involved with the workshops!

Meet some of the museum’s volunteers who have been essential in keeping the site running and looking great! Leigh is our resident gardener who knows all there is to know about keeping the Dig for Victory going (and rabbit free!), Brian works within our Heritage Restorations department which is a volunteer group restoring the vehicles we have on site. Then we have Gareth who is a living history re-enactment volunteer, along with Karl, an aspiring volunteer! 

They both enjoy demonstrating weapons with the East Yorkshire Regiment Living History Group, showcasing uniforms and talking to the families/schools on anything WW2. You can meet the volunteers on site at our Living History Weekend this August Bank Holiday!

We’re excited to be joined by Rocky and James from Be Amazing Arts to shout about the next collaborative performance at Eden Camp. 

Some of you may have seen last summer’s project at Eden Camp where James hurdled some new production challenges and Rocky’s creative skills were put to the test transforming some wartime love letters into the sweetheart’s story of love, loss, and perseverance, Letters From Betty.

Well we enjoyed it so much, that Be Amazing Arts are back again with a new story so tune in to find out more!

Celebrating Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee this month, Summer is delving into history to learn more about then Princess Elizabeth’s experience during WW2, and looking deeper into the Royal Family’s involvement in conflict. 

From Princess Mary’s Christmas Tin to Prince Harry’s Invictus games, join us in exploring a right royal affair!
