The 22 huts have been re-equipped to tell the story of The People’s War, the social history of life in Britain from 1939 to 1945.

The camp’s location on Eden House Road on the outskirts of Malton earned it the name ‘Eden Camp’ and its first residents, 250 Italian prisoners, were escorted from Oldham and marched through Malton to their new home. In 1985 local businessman Stan Johnson bought the site and set out creating, within the original camp, what would become the modern history museum it is today. 

Each hut covers a different aspect of the war, starting with the rise of the Nazi Party, Hitler and The Outbreak of War. 

Groups can enhance their visit with a dedicated talk tailored to your group’s interests. 

Other group benefits include: 

• Discounted group rates for pre-booked groups of 10 or more. 

• Ample coach parking. 

• Onsite café ‘WinStan’s’ offering refreshments and meals.  

• Fully accessible for all visitors, ensuring a comfortable experience. 

Groups can also take advantage of a host of events with standard group rates including; Living History Weekends (4-5th April and 29-30th Aug) and Back to the 1940s (10-11th Oct).
