The Black Country Living Museum is once again turning back the clock for its much-loved 1940s Weekend, inviting visitors to experience the sights, sounds and spirit of wartime Britain. 

The weekend sees reenactors, costumed characters and period settings bringing stories of resilience and community to life. 

Visitors can enjoy live 1940s music, watch street entertainment, explore historic shops and workplaces, and even try activities inspired by the wartime Home Front, from sandbag making to air-raid fire-fighting demonstrations.
