Wartime in the Cotswolds 28th and 29th April 2018

One of the first wartime events of the season here in the UK, and the rain didn't deter the re-enactors at this busy 1940s themed venue! There was entertainment at all of the stations of Gloucester and Warwickshire Steam Railway including singer Betsy Harmony at Winchcombe station.
The WWII re-enactors were ready to chat to the many visitors
and  there were lots of displays, vintage shopping and events for everyone to enjoy.
  Great day out!

#STONELEIGH MILITARIA SHOW 2017 AND THE 1940S RE-ENACTORS

Stoneleigh Militaria Show always draws the crowds, not surprising really as this popular Warwickshire venue provides collectables and uniforms, medals, manuals, even military vehicles and much, much more. 

There were lots of #1940s collectors, enthusiasts and  #re-enactors, many wearing

#homefront or military uniform, and also stalls selling #vintage clothing, hats and shoes.

 Very interesting and popular event!
