The Severn Valley Railway will be heading back to the past with the return of its 1940s Event this year.

The event will run on the 26th and 27th June 2021 and 3rd and 4th July 2021.

A number of displays, live events and re-enactors will be taking place during the event, fun for all ages.

Visitors will be allocated a compartment before their vintage train departs for experiences and events along the line.

Weddings, rifle training, vintage vehicles and displays will all feature.

The Engine House at Highley and the pubs and cafes all plan to reopen if the government restrictions allow.

Helen Smith, general manager of the SVR, welcomed the return of Step Back to the 1940s: “We know how popular this event is, and we can’t wait to see a whole host of returning faces, along with some new ones,  all looking for an exciting day of vintage discovery.

“Although we’ve had to change the event slightly to ensure a Covid-safe experience, we can guarantee a 1940s adventure to remember. The moment you step onto the Railway, you’ll be transported back in time to a world of George Formby, Laurel and Hardy, cold beer and spam sandwiches!”

Tickets are available via the Severn Valley Railway website and cost £35 per person. Tickets are also backed by the SVR COVID Guarantee.
