Experience the 1940s and the Second World War with authentic re-enactors, Home Guard, Allied Forces, Special Operations and Home Front displays along with 1940s singers and vintage vehicles. Be sure to help our Policeman by keeping an eye out for any illicit black market deals happening at the station.
Interact with our re-enactors throughout the site, they’ll be able to tell you their story and have a surprise or two for you.
Please note there will be no parking at Wallingford Station during the 40s weekend. It is possible to board at Cholsey Station.
