The Devils Porridge Exhibition
This amazing exhibition tells the story of the Greatest Munitions Factory on earth that was constructed on the Anglo-Scottish Border between Dornock in Scotland and Longtown in England.

During 1915, Britain was at a disadvantage during the early part of the Great War through lack of a continuous supply of quality ammunition.
That is until 30,000 women and men came from all over the world to work in this massive factory, purpose built by the government on the northern shore of the Solway Firth, specifically to manufacture cordite, a smokeless explosive, usually made from nitro-glycerine and nitro-cotton.
It's a fascinating story even young kids comprehend, and set in as family friendly an environment as they can manage.

If you've had fun on your family day out to The Devils Porridge Exhibition, tell us about it your visit, so other people will know it's a great place to go as well.
