Enjoy live music, dancing, WWII vehicle displays, period reenactments, market stalls & much more at the annual IBCC Saluit to the 40s Weekend.

Come along and enjoy tea and cake on vintage crockery in the Marquee while listening to our wide variety of 40s entertainment. Stroll around the grounds of the International Bomber Command Centre and chat with the re-enactors, or treat yourself to something stylish and vintage from one of the many trade stands.

Vehicle enthusiasts will be wowed by the wonderful selection of 1940s cars and military vehicles on display throughout the weekend's event. And, with talks on bomb disposal and Mission briefings, there really is something for everyone!

All funds raised at events like these are used to deliver the education and community programmes run by the IBCC.
