Experience the spirit of 1940s Britain with two days of vintage performances, activities and classic vehicle displays!

Visitors and locals are invited to step back in time with what’s promising to be two days of fabulous fun.

A range of exciting events located all around Lincoln are due to take place, such as:

• Live 1940s music and dance
• Food and drink in the local businesses
• Craft markets
• Classic vehicle displays
• Family activities and pop-up street theatre
• Vintage Fairground (including a carousel and children’s swing boats!)
• Traditional games
• Battle of Britain Memorial Flight flypast by a Lancaster Bomber, weather permitting

The main hub of the event will take place in the historic Bailgate and Uphill area of Lincoln, but make sure to look out for other pop-up activities across the city to compliment the weekend – visitors can even get their hair styled to be a classic 1940’s hairdo! 

Some of the acts set to perform include the ever-popular Lincolnshire Lindy Hop Clubs, Johnny Victory, Miss Lily Lovejoy, May Blossom and many more. This year will also see the return of the well-loved Winston Churchill, portrayed by Derek Herbert.

The 1940’s Weekend runs from July 22nd to July 23rd, 10am – 5pm.

The event is organised and funded by Lincoln BIG.
