As a celebration of the 1940s up to the present day, this event continues to entertain the crowds year after year with its mix of re-enactors, living history, trade stands, military vehicles, wood carving, food, drink and music, fashion and song. This year, there is a new section of Comic Cons, with the mini Taun Taun, Vaders Raiders, Wompa, Jack Sparrow and many more.
With 2025 being the 80th anniversary of VE Day, VJ Day and the 85th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain and this festival's 5th year, there will also be a static Spitfire and static Hurricane on display as a salute to veterans alongside 40s re-enactors and displays.
All proceeds go to the charity The Hill 112 Memorial Foundation.
