1940's Weekend on K&ESR

16th May - 17th May 2026
Kent & East Sussex Railway

A whole weekend of pure nostalgia, recreating the sights, sounds and fashions of the 1940's

Book early for this popular event!

Take a step back in time with a visit to the annual 1940's weekend - experience the 40s lifestyle as the railway turns back the clock to wartime Britain.

Why not join in the fun and come in your own 1940s finery!

Enjoy live music at Tenterden and Bodiam, Vintage stalls, period civilian and military vehicles, 40s hairstyling and keep a look out for 'Viv the Spiv' with his black market goods!

Freedom Tickets are valid for unlimited train travel on the day of your visit. Collect your free identity card before immersing yourself in the nostalgic 40s atmosphere created by the re-enactors, live performers and authentic 1940's displays. A variety of attractions are planned for each station, and re-enactors and 1940's singers will be performing throughout the weekend.

Trains will run every 45 minutes throughout the day with the first leaving Tenterden at 10:45 and the last train leaving Bodiam Station at 17:03.
