Milton Keynes Museum
Saturday, 10th and Sunday, 11th May 2025
McConnell Drive, Wolverton MK12 5EL
Milton Keynes Museum takes history off the page and brings it to life with the return of its popular history festival this May.
The family-friendly event promises to be a colourful, lively, engaging weekend walking you through the past and letting you get closer to our ancestors who were living, working, fighting and playing during key periods in this area’s history. From the Roman period through to the early 20th century, re-enactors will be giving an insight into how life used to be in the place that is now a bustling new city.
The re-enactors will be entertaining across the site all weekend, and taking turns to give demonstrations in the arena, which will include musket and cannon displays.
The not-too-distant history gets a look in too, with banner waving suffragettes fighting for the right to vote – the Enfield Reenactment Society thrilled visitors last year, and are sure to do the same this time around.
The Museum’s usual attractions will be open too and the newly opened Ancient Gallery – home to the oldest resident of Milton Keynes, is a must-see.
