Great Central Railway 1940s Weekend 2027

The Great Central Railway's annual 1940s weekend fills the double track main line between Loughborough and Leicester North with wartime re-enactors, displays and steam-hauled trains, with vintage buses linking Quorn and Loughborough Central. The event traditionally runs at the end of May or in early June, and 2027 dates had not been announced at the time of research.
