Back to the 1940s

We are excited to announce that, due to the overwhelming success and fantastic support of our first event, Back to the 40s will return in 2025!
Get ready to Brylcream your hair, don your best hat, and dress to impress as you step back in time and immerse yourself in the vibrant spirit of the 1940s at Eden Camp! This weekend promises to be filled with nostalgic fun, lively music, and the charm of a bygone era. The event will be buzzing with activity, and as you explore the 22 original prisoner of war huts, you’ll discover something new at every corner. The displays capture the humour, sacrifice, and spirit of a nation at war, and you can uncover the personal tributes and unique stories of individuals throughout the war.
