Step Back to the 1940s at the Severn Valley Railway 2027

The Severn Valley Railway's immersive Step Back to the 1940s event usually runs over two summer weekends, transforming the whole 16 mile line between Kidderminster and Bridgnorth into a home front scene with re-enactors, vintage vehicles and live 1940s music. The 2026 edition ran on 27 and 28 June and 4 and 5 July; 2027 dates had not been announced at the time of research.

What’s on

• Two weekends across the whole line
• Military vehicle demonstrations including an M18 Hellcat in 2026
• Live 1940s bands and dancing
• Travel between themed stations by steam train

The next date has not been confirmed by the organiser yet. This event usually runs in June. We check weekly and will publish the date as soon as it is announced.
