Lincoln’s 1940s Weekend
Experience the spirit of 1940s Britain with two days of vintage performances, activities and classic vehicle displays!
Wow… what a turnout!
A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for the 2026 Lincoln 1940s Weekend. It was fantastic to welcome over 11,000 visitors across the two-day celebration, making this one of our most successful events yet.
Visitors enjoyed a packed programme of live entertainment, wartime reenactments, vintage vehicles, swing dancing, music, family activities and the spectacular flypasts, all set against the historic backdrop of Uphill Lincoln.
The event once again brought together residents and visitors to celebrate an important chapter of British history while supporting Lincoln's independent businesses, attractions, cafés, pubs and restaurants.
We'd like to thank all of our performers, exhibitors, volunteers, sponsors, partners and everyone who attended for making the weekend such a memorable success.
