1940s Weekend

'The Seagull has Landed!'

June 13th & 14th

Join us once again for the Railway's annual step back into the 1940s. Featuring Military & Civilian Vehicle Displays and British, American & German Troops, all coming to a head with the battle at 3pm on Sunday.

E.N.S.A will be providing entertainment on both days of the event to boost the morale of Troops, Passengers and the general public.

Also back by popular demand is the Seagull Dance, this year back in Griffin Hall at Lakeside Station, featuring Mr Paul Harper, and music by the King of Swing. Admission is free if you book your tickets in advance, however there is a charge of £2 per person on the night if you don't have tickets! Leave the ration book at home and have a Bully Beef Stew Supper, followed by Spotted Dick and Custard for the additional small price of £3.50 per person. If you would like to book for this event, please contact the railway using the details at the bottom of this page.

If you wish to come along as a re-enacting group or individual, or if you have a period civilian or military vehicle that you would like to bring along, please contact Keith Faquhar, 17 Daubney Street, Cleethorpes, DN35 7BB. Tel: 01472 589411
