Now the Norths largest 1940s re-enactment and military vehicle show; The YWE, is a tribute to WW1, WW2. The show will run for 3 days. Held over a 58-acre site. The YWE has something for everyone. The YWE currently holds the largest full-scale re-creation of a WW1 trenching system in the North of England. The trench is very popular with visiting WW1 re-enactment groups and local schools and colleges. We have two large scale WW1 and WW2 battles each day on a 12-acre site, incorporating its own WW2 trenching system of Allied and Axis troops which oppose each other. As well as tanks, each battle comprises, live firing artillery, mortar, bazooka, machine gun and rifle fire. Topped off with a large pyrotechnic display. This year we are commemorating and celebrating the great WWII conflicts of D-Day, now 75 years since this great moment in our war time history. Friday 5th July is dedicated as a school’s day, where local school children are invited to walk round the site and interact with many of the displays, trenches, vehicles and re-enactment groups up close.
