Every year for one weekend in August, Ramsey takes a trip back in time as it returns to the 1940s to remember the sights and sounds of this historic era. 2012 will be no different and on the 18th and 19th of August, Ramsey will celebrate all things Forties. The event is open from 10.00 am to 5.00 pm each day
The highlight of this trip down memory lane is Saturday’s 1940s dance. There you can dance the night away to an authentic big band sound.
The daytime will see a procession of vintage vehicles, living history displays, stalls, Forties fashion shows and other special events. Looking for some authentic 1940s memorablilia? Ramsey 1940s weekend features a brilliant retail village, with a huge range of stalls selling all things Forties. From uniforms and authentic civilian clothes to paintings, postcards and medals, Ramsey 1940s Weekend will have a stall that can meet your needs.
The site also has a wealth of eating outlets – whether you’re looking for a cup of tea and a hot doughnut or a hogroast. And, the food of the Forties isn’t forgotten either, with endless mounds of spam sandwiches also on the menu!
