Thousands of people flocked to the annual 1940s weekend at Woodhall Spa this weekend.

The seventh edition of the popular event took place over the weekend with a variety of activities, musical entertainment, stalls, vehicles and a military re-enactment.

For one year only this event and Thorpe Camp 1940s Weekend took place on the same weekend – July 7 and 8.

The festival is ran entirely by volunteers who do not receive any form of payment for their work.
