Ingleton 1940s

Step back in time and join us for a weekend full of nostalgic entertainment. Enjoy the music & fashions of the era, learn the history of World War 2 and take part in our act of remembrance for those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

Set in the heart of Ingleton with the impressive backdrop of Ingleborough and the village’s historic viaduct. Walk through the village to see history come alive at the re-enactors camp, admire the vintage vehicles on display in the streets, join in with old fashioned fete games and play with traditional toys, shop for antiques and vintage accessories, you can even get a 1940’s hair do!

Check out the amazing street performers and stop to listen to an array of music from the era by wonderful entertainers, or join in and have a dance, you can even be shown how at the dance lessons! Don’t forget to keep your eyes peeled and ears open for the parades, you may catch a glimpse of Churchill or the young Princess Elizabeth.

Once you’ve done all of that you will probably be ready for some refreshments, ‘The Regiment’ bar in the Square if you fancy a tipple or if you’re in need of a butty and a brew the pop-up café at the Community Centre have you covered.
