Eden Camp wins 'most educational day out' for third consecutive year Eden Camp Modern History Museum has won won “Best Educational Day Out 2023” at the SME Northern Enterprise Awards for the third year in a row. The Northern Enterprise Awards celebrates the industriousness and the dedication of the businesses and enterprises hailing from the north of England. Constituting 99% of businesses in the North, the UK's small and medium-sized enterprises generate more than half of the nation’s business turnover. In the Northern Enterprise Awards 2023, potential reasons for nomination include innovation displayed through an ingenious product or service offering, glowing testimonials reflecting exceptional customer care, or a particularly novel business model. The awards are judged entirely on merit by Northern Enterprise’s experienced in-house research team. And Eden Camp is celebrating once again following yet another interactive display launching, and further preservation improvements set to take place over the winter period. Eden Camp Modern History Museum’s Managing Director, Paula Peace said:

“We are immensely proud of the efforts put in by the Museum’s team of staff and volunteers who put every effort into making an unforgettable experience for our visitors from start to finish. “It means so much to us all to be recognised for the consistently high-quality service that our museum is famous for. "A massive thank you to all involved who have helped us gain recognition in our sector!”

2024 promises to be a big year for the museum with several projects on the go over the winter. These include the vital restoration of the original POW huts, part-funded by the UK Government’s Shared Prosperity Fund and the support from North Yorkshire Council.
