Imperial War Museum North presents an unmissable family friendly exhibition, based on Frightful First World War, one of the most popular books in the Horrible Histories™ series.
Marking an awesome 90 years since the end of the Frightful First World War, this extraordinary exhibition explores terrifying tales and foul facts. It’s history with the nasty bits left in – not to mention the smelly, scratchy and itchy!
• Discover how soldiers dealt with rotten rations, fierce flies, lousy lice, gruesome gas, vile vermin, sickness and sores
• Smell the stenches of the trenches; disguise yourself in a camouflage tree and peer into no man’s land
• See how enemies in the trenches stopped fighting to play friendly football matches, and how the war brought foul food and worse water
• Explore who wore what and what their curious clothing felt like
• Hear the sounds of the war with ropey rhymes, sad songs and momentous memories from those who were there
• Learn why the words ‘never again’ must never be forgotten
Get the whole horrible lot at this fantastic FREE day out for all of the family!
