KWVR 1940S WEEKEND
This May, the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway turns the clock back once more as the spirit of the 1940s returns to the Worth Valley for our second annual 1940s Weekend.
Step into a world of wartime Britain, where the sights, sounds and style of the era come vividly to life across every station. From the glamour and swing of a big band evening dance to the bustle of a home-front railway in full operation, the entire line becomes a living celebration of music, community and heritage.
Enjoy live vintage entertainment, meet authentic reenactors, admire classic vehicles and soak up the unmistakable atmosphere of the 1940s as steam trains carry you through a weekend like no other. Dress the part, embrace the spirit, and join us for an unforgettable journey back in time.
