Lytham St Annes 1940s Weekend

Lytham re lives the 1940s wartime era with a weekend of forties singing, dancing, weapons displays, historic vehicles, military charities, vintage traders and so much more…

The entertainment marquee situated on Lytham Green has two days of free entertainment from 10am to 5pm each day. The line up features Derek Herbert with Winston Churchill’s rousing wartime speeches, Colin Bourdiec as George Formby, and making their Lytham return for their third appearance the Bluebirds UK and Lancashire Belle.

There will be a licensed forties bar in the main marquee.

Also on show will be military vehicles, music and dance on the Mussel Tanks (weather permitting) adjacent to the Promenade with a resident forties DJ, plus dancing in Clifton Square too. There will be an impressive display of historic military vehicles by the MVT (Military Vehicles Trust), post war vehicles and more, parked up on Lytham Green opposite the Clifton Arms Hotel. Each day at 1pm there will be a military vehicle procession that passes through the centre of Lytham, led by Winston Churchill and you’ll see jeeps, trucks, vintage bicycles and so much more… There will be a static Spitfire display from the Lytham St Annes Spitfire Display Team. Plus, do go and support the military charities, Spirit of the Home Front and the many and varied re-enactment groups, including a canon firing display.
