Date set for Lincoln's 1940s weekend

Lincoln’s popular 1940s Weekend is set to take place on July 19 and 20, bringing a range of historical-themed activities to the city’s Cathedral Quarter and other locations. The annual event, which is free to attend, features live music and dance performances, craft markets, classic vehicle displays, and family-friendly entertainment. Visitors can also experience traditional games, a vintage fairground, and pop-up street theatre. A Battle of Britain Memorial Flight flypast is scheduled, subject to weather conditions. A highlight of the weekend will be the return of Winston Churchill impersonator Derek Herbert, known for his portrayal of the wartime leader. Attendees are encouraged to wear 1940s-style clothing, with prizes awarded for the best-dressed individuals and businesses. The event, organised and funded by Lincoln BIG, will run from 10am. to 5pm. on both days.
