🎩 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.

💖 CHARITY STALLS
We believe that it is our responsibility to re-pay the community for all the support
we’ve enjoyed over 25 years. So we have always made it our responsibility
to help charities with a special offer. We don’t give money but help them to help
themselves by giving them a very special deal on the price of a pitch. We particularly like having the smaller charities with us.  For instance every year a husband and wife raise money for a special school to have an outing and any money left over is used towards much-needed equipment.  Speak to one of our team, or phone us on 07852 70 70 74.

🗺 HOW TO FIND US
You can find us on the A507 just outside of Baldock. Coming from the A1 take the second exit from the ‘Tesco’ roundabout, follow this road to the next roundabout and then turn right. We are on the right just up the road.
📍For Sat navs use SG7 6RD which will bring you close enough to the field.
