A day out with a difference

 

   

Friends took us to this place for a great day out today. To say a museum would not really do it justice. It is a collection of 29 POW huts full of 1940’s interactive experiences and displays. I loved the music hall puppet show, singalong and Stanley Holloway monologues. And the prefab house where you can peer nosily into every window. Soapy smells, tunnelling Great Escape re-enactments, nostalgic sounds, and  models that seemed to breathe and move just enough to make you take a second look.

Lunch was chosen from a wartime-themed menu. I had the submariners’ feast and Graham had Churchill’s pie. Followed by big mugs of tea to wash it all down.Only in a military-themed attraction would you find this in the ladies loos! A hand dryer called Airforce!
