Our Story with David Attenborough at The Natural History Museum
Come along with some Enfield Friends for this fun immersive experience. Witness the birth of life on our planet and see it evolve over billions of years.
Sir David’s words have crafted the experience, which reflects his lifetime exploring our planet and sharing its wonders with the world. His personal message of hope leaves us feeling empowered to help write the next chapter in our story.
Produced by the award-winning filmmakers behind many of Sir David’s documentaries, this new 50-minute experience blends footage of the natural world with cutting-edge animation to create something truly special that you can’t experience from home.
Meeting at Oakwood Station at 11.30am (or in South Kensington if you prefer to make your own way).
We will travel to South Kensington for lunch (optional) and then on to the Natural History Museum. Our tickets are booked for 2pm. The immersive experience should take around 50 minutes and so we can back at Oakwood at about 4pm.
Cost £22.50 plus lunch money.
