Adventurers should definitely hot-foot it to the Imperial War Museum North this summer.

Family-friendly ‘Story Seekers’ sessions take place every day throughout the summer holidays. You can get hands-on with real artefacts and also discover brave real-life stories.

Story Seekers is a wonderful opportunity for families of all ages to learn about the effect of the First World War and Second World War conflict.
