I took my 5yr old to the Horrible Histories exhibition "Terrible Trenches" this weekend and he really loved it. There are lots of things to try on (hats and jackets), as well as flaps to lift, tunnels to crawl through and bomb buttons to press. Although the subject is really heavy they've explained how it all started via a Horrible Histories cartoon style film, and looked at the subject from both sides of no man's land. He also loved the V2 bomb in the main hall and the enormous gun barrels outside the building. You just don't get the scale of these weapons until you're standing next to them. Fab shop and great cafe with delicious choc cake made for the perfect day out. Try to go before the Horrible Histories exhibition closes on 31st Oct.
