We got to travel back in time at this awesome 40's Festival.
I love the 1940's, so it was a must!
The whole village (and visitors) dress up. They have re-enactments from WWII,
like a Winston Churchill speech, an evacuation, an RAF Flypast, vintage cars,
dancing and even singers.
Oh yeah, and you can arrive by steam train!
It. was. so. fun.
I took a bazillion pictures and a couple videos, so proceed if you dare.
(I will make as few comments as possible, if you have as short of an attention span like I do)....
Old Train Station in Ingrow.
It still had the vintage posters, old luggage, and even a coal burning fireplace.
Waiting patiently for the train to take us to the Festival!
Ummm yeah, we dressed up.
All aboard!
Inside the dining cabin on the steam train. Notice the spiffy soldiers on the left!
We loved it! I adore little details like this. It made it feel even more real.
Indiana was around in the 40's you know....
(plus it was the only thing Ben was willing to dress up in)
Taking a gander out of the train window....
Here are some of the other passengers near us on the train...
This family was awesome! They had such detailed costumes.
Her sons dressed as vintage boy scouts,
and even had an old tattered vintage teddy bear and a picnic basket to carry around.
Another train station along the way...
Getting off the train...at the Haworth 1940's Festival!
Vintage buses took you to the village from the train station.
Cool vintage carousel.
Soldiers galore!
Hmmm...and a Nazi or two.
(They were re-creating the WWII era after all).
They were so good at small details throughout the village. Try to read the signs if you can.
They even taped up the windows like they did for the air raids!
Indie ♥
Nate with the "gas" man.
We had a blast and will definitely go again next year!
Thanks for lasting through all the pictures!
Hope you enjoyed them!
