Nostalgic Events and Breaks
1940s
Nowhere creates the authentic atmosphere of
1940s quite like the Yorkshire towns of Haworth, Grassington and Brighouse.
Enjoy live re-enactments of key battles, grab a piece of history at the stalls selling wartime paraphernalia, wander around the military vehicles and aircraft on display, learn the art of Lindy Hop Dancing and sing along to wartime favourites. Hear rallying speeches from the monarch of the time George VI and wartime Prime Ministers Winston Churchill and Neville Chamberlain.
Why not enter into the spirit yourself by dressing up in your finest wartime gear?
