Enjoy Easter 1940s Style

You may need your tin hat and gas mask if you visit Crich Tramway Village during its special 1940s Weekend on Easter Sunday and Monday 24th and 25th April. You can expect air-raid warnings and the sound of low flying aircraft and you will need your identity card for a real taste of life during the Second World War. Plus, if you dress up in 1940s clothes admission is only £8!

Policemen and members of the Home Guard will be patrolling the period streets and visitors must always be ready to show their identity card or risk being arrested as a spy! Beware the spivs selling black market goods and watch out for unexploded bombs. However the trusty ARP will be on hand to deal with any incidents including the incendiary bombs. The Red Lion public house will be serving drinks and wartime styled meals.
