1940's Day - Sunday 8th September 2019, 12-5pm
Join us for an exciting step back in time as once again, Mizens miniature railway will be running our regular wartime themed event with civilian, emergency service and military vehicles, re-enactors and various displays to raise vital funds for The Royal British Legion. This event has been re-named the 1940's day to reflect the home front aspects of our wartime displays.
The Railway will run a re-enactors train and there will be displays across the site. We will present prizes to the best re-enactment group, the best vehicle and the best member in costume at the end of the afternoon so get those thinking caps on!
Entertainment will be provided by WW2/vintage singer Vera Andrews where you can sing along to your favourite wartime songs and Ukulele player Matthew Quilliam where you can witness one of the greatest George Formby experiences!
During the afternoon there will also be bomb disposal displays by a specialist re-enactment group.
Our 1940’s themed cafe will be selling hot drinks and cold snacks but remember we are in a period of rationing (and no black market goods will be offered or accepted) ;-)
Come along and enjoy rides on miniature trains set in a lovely 10 acre site. Small fees for train rides apply, money from this goes to The Royal British Legion
