About this Event

Experience a WWI Christmas Story

In 1914, a brief, unofficial truce took place along parts of the Western Front, as soldiers on opposing sides marked the season together.

During this event small groups will be led through the Heritage Village, where they will learn about life during the war and will experience the unique story of the Christmas Truce at our replica WWI trench.

Presented in Partnership with History Matters Association
