WWII Wales workshop brings WWII history to life through hands on, fun activities and talks! We start with a talk on themes such as the Blitz, evacuees, rationing, the blackout, and much more, all whilst showing and passing around items from the era! This also includes 2 activities, a Blitz simulation, and a blackout game!
Our second half includes dressing up in WWII uniforms, as well as getting to look and hold even more artefacts. We also include replica riffles to hold! To finish, learn more and ask as many questions as you like with our Q and A!
