1940's Weekend on Kent & East Sussex Railway

17th May - 18th May 2025

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

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

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

Freedom tickets includes unlimited train travel on the day of your visit. Collect your free identity card before immersing yourself in the nostalgic 40's 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.

Activities at Bodiam Station
Enjoy some refreshment from the NAFFI van, relax listening to 'Miss Holiday Swing' and 'Adam Hoffman'.

Costumed re-enactors, military and civilian vehicles all add to the atmosphere.
