RE350WD/CO Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Stoke Bruerne’s annual Village at War event, the only wartime vintage themed canal festival, is taking place this year over the weekend of 14-15th September. The WWII weekend, organised by the Friends of The Canal Museum, kicks off at 7pm on Friday evening with the fabulous Lola Lamour singing some nostalgic songs of the 40s in The Navigation pub (table booking advised on 01604 864988). The wartime theme continues with tea dances and vintage fashion shows in the Church, a Black Market (get your nylons here), tanks and other military vehicles, a battle and firepower demonstration and other re-enactments from living history groups such as the Pitsford Home Guard, Allied Assortment, UK Tank Club, Le Companie de Francois, Falling Leaves, Trucks, Troops and Stores, The Tommy Atkins Society, Foxhole Fugitives, BARS and the 7th British Infantry.

RE350WD/CO Posted September 12, 2013 Author Share Posted September 12, 2013 I guess so, though I will be keeping an eye out as we are camping on Saturday night. :undecided: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
