The time is nearly upon us to turn back the clock in Folkingham and to recreate the village as it was in 1944. There will be something for everyone, with American GI Enactors walking the streets, The Land Army Girls and Home Guard in residence on the Millenium Orchard, and entertainers galore taking you back to the Village Hall Dances of yesteryear. Learn about life on USAAF Folkingham through exhibition and via a suite of lectures from a stellar cast of lecturers, all able to shed light into the lives of the men who flew from Folkingham, and the villagers that welcomed them 80 years earlier. There are a variety of make and take activities for Adults and Children alike 

An International squad of speakers with a fantastic array of subjects
