Greetings all,
It is with very sad heart that we have had to cancel this year's Wartime Village event due to the current virus outbreak.
We would like to thank each and every one of our supporters who have helped out, displayed and come to visit us over the past 3 years.
As many of you know and understand; This will be a hard time for the museum, as the Wartime Village event is a major boost to our income to keep the museum up and running.
We hope you are all keeping yourselves and your families safe during these unprecedented times.
We WILL be back, We WILL keep fighting to keep the museum open for all when we come out of the other side of this virus epidemic.
We would ask that you all continue to support the Village museum when we reopen.
Take care,
Karl, Rodney & Kellie
The organising team

Thank you for visiting the "Wartime Village" web page.
Here you will be able to keep up to date with new announcements and event information as they become available.
The Village is a Victorian farm museum, within the seaside town of Skegness in Lincolnshire.
Once a year we take a historical step back in time, where visitors can immerse themselves in the sights and sounds of life during World War 2.
With some of the finest living history groups in the UK, visitors can find out about the life of British and Commonwealth soldiers in Europe, North Africa and Burma;
Take a trip in a time machine as you enter the sites original Victorian farmhouse, keeping the home fires burning until our soldiers come home to their loved ones in good old Blighty.
Know your enemy! You can also get to grips with the German army, see their uniforms and equipment from the deserts of North Africa through to the final defense and fall of Berlin.
The Wartime Village is about bringing alive the history of World War 2 and educating the public in a period setting within the museum grounds.

Came to this event last year and was a lovely relaxing day. The staff were all friendly and welcoming. Been going to Skegness with my family since I was born and we never knew you were there but is definitely worth another visit whether for the 40s event or any other time of year. The house is amazing and a great way to teach children about history. Hope to see you sometime this year.
