Home Front Weekend
17-18 May 2025
This year we are expecting an even bigger Home Front weekend, with an additional encampment and special displays and celebrations to tie in with the 80th anniversary of VE Day.
Step back to the 1940s, as Amberley Museum is recreated as a WW2 encampment, showcasing vehicles, uniforms and equipment from the Home Front. For the first time, there’s a chance to explore an American WW2 encampment in the field behind the cafe.
Visitors can also get up close with wartime fire appliances and visit a recreation fire station bay to find out about their role. The show also includes post-war equipment and vehicles, showing the changes since 1945.
Come along in your 1940s-style fashions, and take a ride on our steam locomotive ‘Peter’ and our 1930s bus.
Please pre-book tickets to avoid disappointment.
