Marshall’s Yard is inviting visitors to step back in time this September as its popular 1940s Day returns to the centre on Saturday September 12th.

Sponsored by Sills & Betteridge Solicitors, the free event will take place from 11am until 3pm, with a packed programme of entertainment and activities centred around the fountain area.

There will also be plenty for families to enjoy, with free face painting and traditional garden games taking place throughout the day.

A selection of vintage vehicles will also be on display along the central walkway, giving visitors the chance to take a closer look as part of the nostalgic event.
