1940s weekend - Hanworth Country Park - near Lincoln- July 2026

I've always loved a good 1940s weekend and was gutted when Woodhall Spa cancelled theirs.

I've just learnt that Hanworth Country Park is looking at hosting one next year - 25th & 26th July.

From their Fb page.......

"We're so excited to announce that Hanworth Country Park will be hosting an incredible 1940s weekend next year!

On a personal note, I'd love this to be a success so please forward to anyone you think may be interested.

Cheers.

Thanks for this. I was gutted when woodhall spa cancelled theirs, it was always a great weekend. I'll keep an eye out for this one.

 

Just had a quick look where it is, only about 10 mins from bomber command in Canwick.

 

Absolutely, basically just down the road on the B1188.

 

Hi Rootes75

Not sure if you've seen this post and, if you have, would be interested in attending (vintage military vehicles).

I have no connection to the Park but I miss the Woodhall Spa 40s weekend, and would love this new venture to be a success.

If you could please forward to any other military vehicle enthusiasts, it would be most appreciated.

Kind regards.
John.

 

No Problem John, I can certainly put the word round about the event.

 

Many thanks

 

Another update.....

Expect a full weekend of nostalgia with stalls, entertainment, live music, wartime vehicles, reenactments, 1940s style food, and even a nostalgic sweet stall

We’re also hoping for a flyover from our local air force to complete the experience

We’re excited to be showcasing the first of many 1940s themed events, and we’d love for you to be part of it.

If you’d like to join us as a stall holder, entertainer, or in any other 1940s-themed role, please get in touch with our event planner: Paul Ball, on:

Paul_bull247@hotmail.com

or Hanworth Country Park on: info@hanworthcountrypark.co.uk

 

Has anyone heard anything more about this? It's next month and information on the event appears to be impossible to find. I must say, it doesn't appear to be very well advertised!

 

Hi,

I've not seen anything for a while. I received an email in April, saying it was still going ahead. I'll ask for an update and post it on here.

Best.
John.

If you're going to choose the links above, please make sure you have the correct day and event.....I must have tried a dozen times to get it sorted.....

Thanks for the links provided, I didn't see anywhere that tickets were available through ticket source. You just wonder how busy it will be with the lack of advertising? Especially with this being their first event. Still, it's reasonably priced so worth taking a punt. I remember the 1940s weekend at woodhall spa so the bar has been set very high!

 

We sometimes walk to the country park for breakfast, so we'll definitely give it a go. I'm still trying to find out if you can pay on the day.

 

So, apparently, you can pay on the day but advised to buy evening dance tickets beforehand.

 

Thanks for that, much appreciated. I'd only be going for the day anyway as I have young children so pay on the day suits me just fine. Here's hoping for a good event.
