Head to the Royal Air Force Museum between 22nd July and 3rd September for thrilling family fun at Horrible Histories: Up in the Air Adventure. The experience brings the history of flying and aviation to life, with six exciting zones for the whole family to explore. Design a flying machine in the engineer's workshop, meet the inventors of various flying machines, or solve puzzles and uncover clues in an interactive challenge.

This Horrible Histories experience lasts for about two hours and is ideal for keeping kids (and adults) entertained during the summer holidays. The event also coincides with the 30th anniversary of the bestselling Horrible Histories books series.
