Civilian and military re-enactors and vehicles provide a wartime film set feel to The Historic Dockyard backdrop for Salute to the ‘40s which has become one of the best events of its kind in the country. Certainly not one to miss!
Children can become an Evacuee for the day and get a taster for life during the wartime. During Salute to the ‘40s The Historic Dockyard becomes an open-air classroom for those eager to learn about the war years.
