Sleaford’s now annual 1940s Day event will be held this year on Saturday June 28, again in the grounds of William Alvey School.

The event is organised by Sleaford Town Council in partnership with the primary school and will take place from 11am until 4pm.

The popular event is suitable for all the family, so you can bring your chairs, picnic and spend the day there.
