The Munitionettes

Do you have what it takes to be a Munitionette? First World War- with men at war needing weapons, women went to work. In the Air and Space hall, 800 women tested fuzes for bombs. They had to be strong, alert, and most of all, brave. We’ll put you through your paces to see if you could have been one of these pioneering local heroines. Expect big bangs, ferocious fire, and, of course, explosions! Suitable for 7 years and above. Taking place at 11.30am, 12.30pm, 1.30pm and 2.30pm. Duration 20 minutes.
