🎩 History Festival at Milton Keynes Museum (Pay once and visit for free all year!) - May 2025


Time: 10:30 - 16:30

🎩 This May, get even closer to the past, with the return of our popular History Festival spanning nearly 2,000 years of history in one weekend!

🗓 DATES
▪️Saturday 10th May 2025
▪️Sunday 11th May 2025


🔱 WHAT TO EXPECT
Wander around the tent village set up in the Museum grounds and travel back in time to meet Romans, Tudors, Civil War Soldiers, Suffragettes and many more!

🔥 RE-ENACTORS
Nearly 100 re-enactors will be roaming around the Museum throughout the weekend ready to answer your burning questions about life in the past.

All the re-enactors will be entertaining across the site all weekend, and taking turns to give demonstrations in the ever popular arena.

🪙 HANDS ON ACTIVITIES 
Aside from watching the action and interacting with those figures from our history, youngsters can get hands-on with activities including mosaic making and sandbox digging.

🎲 THE MUSEUM 
All the Museum’s usual attractions will be open too; you will be able to play parlour games, browse the street of shops, discover more about the history of communication and see the history of transport – complete with the tram that once took workers from Stony Stratford to Wolverton works.

🥪 FOOD & DRINK
If hunger bites, bite back with a visit to the Granary Tea Room, with its affordable, tempting variety of hot and cold sandwiches and sweet treats, and the best cakes for miles around.
