Pickering 1940'S War Weekend
We are delighted to offer you the chance to visit the fabulous 1940's War Weekend in Pickering - a favourite with our Day Excursion passenger over the last few years. What started as a festival on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway has expanded to the whole town, coming to life with singing, dancing, parades and fashion shows, in addition to living history showcases, period vehicle exhibitions and re-enactments that take you back in time to war time Britain.
