Families were taken on a trip back to the 1940s with the Dig For Victory Weekend at Whitehall Garden Centre in Lacock.

The two-day event attracted World War II enthusiasts from across the South West with a variety of themed stalls, reenactments, music and dance.

Organised by Nigel Peares of the West Wiltshire branch of the Military Vehicle Trust, the weekend also featured 37 historic military vehicles on display including World War II motorbikes and sidecars and rare SAS desert patrol vehicles.

Many visitors attended in traditional 1940s attire, with prizes for the best costumes.

Families could explore the 1940s home front with a recreation of a wartime allotment, live music from the girl-group The Muller Lites and lessons of traditional dances. Other activities included a recreation of a hospital and a stall from Sheunique in Cirencester selling 1940s clothes.

John Hammond, who organised the civilian-themed display, said: “The weather was wonderful and a huge number of people turned up and enjoyed themselves.

"It was great to see that we had every generation coming, with grandparents and parents bringing their children. It was a good opportunity for older generations to reminisce and they had some great stories to tell.”

The money raised will go towards funding next year's event and a new reenactment group.
