Wartime flavour to Sleaford’s annual 1940s Day
The annual Sleaford 1940s Day event promises to be a vintage day out when it returns on Saturday, June 27.
The event is brought to you by Sleaford Town Council, in partnership with the William Alvey School and will be held in the school grounds on Eastgate, Sleaford, from 11am to 4pm.
It is free entry and free attractions including live music and dancing from the Blighty Belles, Marty Clarke, the 40s Home Front, Miller Magic Big Band, Kesteven Morris and Angels Dance Squad.
There will also be horse and carriage rides, air raid shelter tours, re-enactments, demonstrations, static vintage vehicle displays, Punch and Judy shows, trade stalls, food and drink, face painting, animals, vintage games, bouncy castles, circus skills workshops, vintage children's fair rides and balloon modelling.
There will also be a 1940s/vintage style ‘best dressed’ competition in the three categories of best adult, child and family and you can get your hair done in a 1940s style. Each winner gets a special trophy.
Service dogs only permitted.
