CTA member Continuum Attractions, the York-based visitor experience specialist, has acquired Eden Camp Modern History Museum, one of Yorkshire’s most popular tourist attractions.

Eden Camp Modern History Museum, located just outside Malton, provides immersive storytelling around the reality of life in the Second World War. As a former prisoner of war camp, the museum attracts around 125,000 guests per year.

Andrew Pawson, CEO of Continuum Attractions, said: “We are thrilled to welcome Eden Camp into the Continuum family. Its authenticity, educational value and reputation as a much-loved visitor attraction make it a natural fit for us.

“I remember visiting Eden Camp many years ago and appreciating the outstanding depth it offers our understanding of life at war, along with the immersive way it tells us those stories. It has always been about people – from the veterans who helped create it, to the generations of schoolchildren who continue to learn from it – and we are committed to protecting that legacy while also securing its future. Our aim is to invest for the long term, support its dedicated team and ensure that Eden Camp continues to inspire guests of all ages with its powerful storytelling.”

Continuum is the owner and operator of some of the UK’s most popular heritage attractions including York’s Chocolate Story, The Real Mary King’s Close in Edinburgh, The Loch Ness Centre, Oxford Castle & Prison, Portsmouth’s Spinnaker Tower, plus the Coronation Street Experience and Emmerdale Village Tour attractions which it runs in partnership with ITV.

Eden Camp Modern History Museum is open between March and November each year and is renowned as a school trip destination, and is also popular with visitors who want to learn more about Britain during World War Two.
