ASHDOWN Farm in Badsey is gearing up for one of the premier Second World War events in the UK this weekend.
This Saturday and Sunday (June 21 and 22), Wartime in the Vale offers two days filled with nostalgia, featuring live re-enactments and living history displays that will transport visitors back to the 1940s.
Members of the public can join fellow enthusiasts for an unforgettable experience celebrating wartime history and the Home Front spirit in a Second World War camp.

There are also trade stalls, and a military market where enthusiasts can buy and sell military vehicle parts and collectibles.
