We’re planning a trip back to the 1940s in the summer to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War.

There’ll be live performances in our ENSA theatre, and a tea dance of sorts with swing music and dancing.

Children can experience a lesson in the evacuees’ classroom, immerse themselves in some fun 40s crafty activities and experience life in the Anderson Shelter.

Historic vehicles will fill the car park and there’ll be a NAAFI café in the Playground.

Pop up displays, demonstrations and even some dancing will be the icing on the cake.

It’s happening on Sunday 13 July between 10.30am (not 10.30pm as the leaflet erroneously says!) and 3.30pm, and thanks to funding support from the Town Council and National Lottery Community Fund it’s all FREE!

The Vintage Fair we’d planned as part of the day, though, will not happen due to low interest. Sorry about that!
