Southern At War

 

We’re thrilled to share the news that Southern At War is making a comeback at The Bluebell Railway in 2024!

This highly anticipated event will transport you back in time, this year celebrating and commemorating the 80th anniversary of Operation Overlord. You won’t want to miss out on a weekend filled with re-enactors, classic vehicles, displays, stands, and more. Get into the spirit of the occasion by dressing up in your finest period clothing and immersing yourself in the fun.

PLUS KIDS FOR A QUID!
