Built in 1942 on farmland outside Malton, Eden Camp began life as a prisoner of war camp, first housing Italian captives and later German prisoners, with space for up to 1,200 people. Today, Eden Camp is a museum with a difference: historical, educational and exciting, with something for everyone regardless of age or interest. The site is largely accessible, offers free on-site car and coach parking, is dog friendly, and visitors should allow at least three to four hours for an average visit.

A great family day out...

“I cannot praise this museum enough; the fact that the site is of historical importance is one thing but what they’ve done inside the original huts is amazing!… There’s truly something for everyone here.” – Steven, Trip Advisor

Perfect Weekend...

“We went at the weekend which was perfect as not too busy. Lots to see, read and experience. We loved all singing in the Vera Lynn music hall and the bunkers were really atmospheric. We were a family 8 years to 66 years and all enjoyed, plus a great history lesson”. Gill – Trip Advisor.
