EVERY year for one weekend in August, Ramsey takes a trip back in time as it returns to the 1940s.
This year is no different, with the sights and sounds of the Forties taking over the weekend of August 21 and 22.
The highlight of this trip down memory lane is Saturday’s 1940s dance, held in one of RAF Upwood’s old aircraft hangars. There you can dance the night away to an authentic big band sound.
The daytime will see a procession of vintage vehicles, living history displays, stalls, Forties fashion shows and other special events.
Looking for some authentic 1940s memorablilia? Ramsey 1940s weekend features a brilliant retail village, with a huge range of stalls selling all things Forties. From uniforms and authentic civilian clothes to paintings, postcards and medals, Ramsey 1940s Weekend will have a stall that can meet your needs.
The site also has a wealth of eating outlets – whether you’re looking for a cup of tea and a doughnut or a hog roast. And, the food of the 40s isn’t forgotten either, with endless mounds of spam sandwiches also on the menu!
