Michelham Priory (Polegate, East Sussex) Home Front WW2 Weekend 16th-17th June.


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, 

Michelham Priory is a beautiful location with a 13th century priory house, moat, ornamental gardens and a fortified gatehouse. This site was used extensively in WW2 by the British, Canadian and Home Guard units and is the perfect location for this intimate and friendly Vehicle and Living History show.  This is an Allied Home Front show, with dancing and music in the timber framed barn. Small stalls with related displays and interactive elements. A home front bedroom in the Priory. Home Front cooking, and more. 

 

We welcome bookings from Military, Civilian and Commercial vehicles built before 1946.

Reenactors and living history displays and individuals.

Period camping is available on site for the duration.

It is close to the 'last call!' for bookings.

We are still happy to accept anything related to the Home Front period (1939-1945).

Also, we are always happy to book in Living History or Re-enactment groups or individuals. 

Vehicles both civilian and military, tractors, engines, or steam! 

Drop me a line via HMVF or the contact details above.

 

See you all on the 16th and 17th of June! 

Paul
