Woodhall Spa 1940s Weekend

In this video I head in to Woodall Spa in Lincolnshire for the 1940's weekend. The whole town gets taken over by thousands of visitors, many of which are dressed in 40's fashion or military uniforms. The woods and local parks are filled with reenactors and market stalls decked out with period items from clothing to vehicles. All in it was a fantastic weekend with glorious weather. I hope you enjoy the video.

    It was amazing, definitely a buzz with all those reenacters, and they were all very knowledgeable as well, explaining various kit and the lengths they go to to be as authentic as possible, to the point only those who know could tell. Thanks for watching Atb Mark

    It was a great long weekend, being in the woods with those reenactment setup’s is as close as you can get to real without taking enemy fire 😁 the planes definitely make the hairs stand on end, such iconic vehicles from history. Some of my pics if you made them black and white/ sepia you could almost pass them off as 40s Thanks for watching Atb Mark
