Step back in time and join us for a Special Event celebrating the Home Front of the Second World War – on the 30th and 31st of May 2026.
We’re excited to welcome you to our annual 1940s Re-enactment Weekend – a highlight of the year and a firm favourite in our calendar. The museum will come alive with the sights, sounds, and spirit of the 1940s, offering a truly immersive experience for all ages.
Throughout the weekend, historical re-enactment groups will be onsite, bringing history to life with authentic displays, demonstrations, and stories from the era. Enjoy live music from the period, get involved in engaging children’s activities, and explore a variety of interactive exhibits and entertainment.
As this is a special event, and our biggest fundraiser of the year, everyone pays admission. Admission charges can be found here. English Heritage Members pay a reduced entry price of £6.50 adults and £4.50 children.
