THE 40S - PARTY FOR VICTORY

Experience the 1940s at our Party for Victory! Our cheerful reenactors will be on hand to teach you how to properly celebrate, the way our loved ones did during World War II. You'll even have the opportunity to learn how to knit and crochet, so you can make your own stylish hat like we did in the old days! And don't forget about our pop-up tearoom for a proper cup of tea and a delightful slice of cake served ‘old school style’ on proper china!

Experience a unique opportunity to learn how to cook with limited resources from our knowledgeable homefront women. Witness their skills as they demonstrate and teach you how to prepare delicious dishes that were popular during times of rationing.

If you're looking for a more relaxed activity, join our "Knit and Natter" session. Bring your knitting or learn the basics while surrounded by the festival's vibrant atmosphere.

Take a break from knitting and nattering to savor a refreshing cup of tea, and then let the music take over at the Nostalgia Stage. Get ready to dance and groove to the incredible beats of the 1940s, and immerse yourself in the spirit of the era.
