Join Bletchley Park in celebrating 80 years since Victory in Europe this May with this special weekend event.
There is a packed schedule of entertainment throughout the weekend, with live music, dancing, activities for families and demonstrations.
- Learn how to swing dance and then try out your new steps to boogie to vintage tunes performed by live bands and singers.
Sing along to timeless melodies that helped keep spirits lifted during tough times.
- Browse unique 1940s-inspired treasures, including clothing, accessories, and memorabilia.
- Meet characters from World War Two, both military and civilian, brought to life by reenactors in vintage dress.
- Put in your victory rolls and don your best 1940s attire, or come as you are – everyone welcome!
All our exhibitions are open as usual for you to explore how the Codebreakers at Bletchley Park played a vital role in securing victory. Walk in their footsteps through refurbished original wartime buildings and hear their stories in their own words. Explore interactive exhibits to reveal what life was like at Bletchley Park and discover the impact the intelligence produced had on the conflict.
You are welcome to bring a picnic to enjoy but there are plenty of food and drink options available on site.
So, dust off your dancing shoes or grab a deck chair and help us celebrate with the whole family. Make it a weekend to remember!
Book online before the day of your visit and save money. General admission tickets are Annual Passes, which means you can visit again and again for free for a whole year. Under 12s go free!
We are expecting Bletchley Park to be very busy over these two days. Parking at the site is limited, so we actively encourage visitors to use public transport wherever possible. We are a short walk from Bletchley Train Station and Bletchley Bus Station.
