1940s Weekend

This year, 2025, the ever-popular 40s weekend happened on the 14th and 15th of June.

Helen Bodiam was the organiser and as usual she was assisted by teams of wartime re-enactors and exhibitors of a variety of military vehicles.

It is for ever a remembrance of the great community spirit
that endured hard times and made do whatever.

The weather was perfect on Sunday.
On Saturday it was more a case of the ‘stiff upper lip’ and ‘we’ll make do anyway’!

Have any more photos? Don’t be scared to send them to our Facebook page.

It was as ever a huge success!
The many exhibits included shops with war-time memorabilia and live demonstrations of old-time farm machinery.  Land-girls, Lumber-Jacks & Jills were there to show you how we fought the war on the Home Front. 

These were the heroes who worked tirelessly in all weathers to maintain supplies of food and fuel.
