Also on Saturday evening, (August 25), there will be a 1940s’ themed dance in the Village Hall from 7.15pm and tickets are just £7.50 each.

Last year was the first one put together by new organisers and saw attendance figures of around 8,000, their biggest numbers to date.

This year, organisers say they are hoping to try and match the figures, but know all too well it’s based around what the weather will be like, as a lot of their events going on happen outdoors.

But they have revealed shaking up the events again for this year, and there will be even more re-enactors appearing with their colourful displays.
