1940s Weekend including the D-Day Darling (trio)
Saturday 16th and Sunday 17th May 2026

We are over the moon to announce that the "Day Darling Trio" will be returning over the weekend (times to be confirmed).

Step back in time and experience the sights, sounds and spirit of the 1940s at our immersive heritage event. Travel through the beautiful Wealden countryside on our vintage steam trains and enjoy a weekend filled with authentic period entertainment and attractions.

Explore military displays, vintage vehicles and re-enactments, and enjoy live music and dance from the era. Dress in your favourite 1940s attire and join in the fun — from swing dancing to nostalgic family activities. With stations brought to life in period style, this event offers a memorable celebration of wartime history and community spirit.

Whether you enjoy the authentic ambience, themed entertainment or simply the scenic steam journey, the 1940s Weekend has something for all ages.
