About

Enjoy a memorable day of nostalgia for the whole family and be immersed in the sights and sounds of England during the 1940s at this years Isle of Wight Steam Railway 1940's weekend.

Taking place on 4th - 5th July, The Isle of Wight Steam Railway is transforming into a buzzing 1940s hub where the music is loud, the engines are hot, and the spirit of the Home Front is alive and well.

Dance to the music of the era, dig out your best vintage clothes and pop those locks in to pin curls. If you need some help or inspiration visit the street scene shops for quirky clothes and stylists onhand to help. Traditional games, shows, period vehicles and a fairground for little ones.

Visit the refreshment room to refuel with hearty themed food and a drink or two, so get those union jack flags at the ready to wave in the steam train before your 10 mile round trip.
