The awards are judged entirely on merit by our experienced in-house research team, taking into consideration information available online and in the public domain, the team will carefully analyse and evaluate those who they believe are succeeding in their endeavours; innovating, growing, and improving.

2022 has been another challenging year for the tourism and heritage sector with the cost of living affecting footfall, therefore Eden Camp is especially excited and proud to celebrate the achievement.

This award highlights how dedicated the museum is to welcoming the next generation of visitors. Its team are working hard behind the scenes to create and develop all the on site and digital resources associated with education, making a visit to Eden Camp just as fun as it is educational.

Since being established back in 1987, the museum has grown from strength and strength. 2023 promises to be a bigger and better year than ever before with several projects on the go over the winter, including the refurbishment of our Junior Play Area with sustainable materials, increasing accessibility around site, and the launch of our BRAND-NEW Human Torpedoes which will create an immersive and high-tech walk-through experience for all to enjoy!
