The awards are judged entirely on merit by Northern Enterprise’s experienced in-house research team. And Eden Camp is celebrating once again following yet another interactive display launching, and further preservation improvements set to take place over the winter period. Eden Camp Modern History Museum’s Managing Director, Paula Peace said:

“We are immensely proud of the efforts put in by the Museum’s team of staff and volunteers who put every effort into making an unforgettable experience for our visitors from start to finish. “It means so much to us all to be recognised for the consistently high-quality service that our museum is famous for. "A massive thank you to all involved who have helped us gain recognition in our sector!”

2024 promises to be a big year for the museum with several projects on the go over the winter.
