Hidden stories of the Home Front: WWII family activity day

Discover what life was like for families on the Home Front in this free WWII family activity day!

Step back into the Second World War and discover what life was really like for families on the Home Front. Children and grown-ups can enjoy a full day of hands-on activities inspired by real wartime stories from Fulham Palace and beyond.

Get creative with themed craft sessions, listen to engaging storytelling and sign up for your own wartime identity card. Try your hand at rationing challenges, explore the archaeology of the Palace’s wartime barrage balloon, and take on a secret Morse code mission. Along the way, learn how ordinary people played their part in extraordinary times.

With immersive workshops led by History Riot and the Battle of Britain Bunker, this free family friendly event offers a fun and interactive way to uncover the hidden histories of the Home Front together.
