World War II school residential trips

In World War II, Milden Hall hosted an anti-aircraft unit, prisoners of war and evacuees - and we have stories to tell of them all. We offer seasonally-appropriate World War II rural living activities here on the farm. Outdoor activities include making your food and fuel rations go further, collecting firewood, ‘rat’-catching, Dig for Victory (growing seeds, planting vegetables, hoeing sugar beet, harvesting vegetables), investigating the burning plane, the Pig Club, looking after the chickens and fieldwalking for WWII artefacts. Students can learn to field walk or metal detect, identify and classify their archaeological finds.
