The Haworth 1940s Weekend attracts over 25,000 visitors a day throughout the event. Visitors are encouraged to arrive in 1940s costume reflecting life in Yorkshire from the 1940’s. Each year the event has developed a war time theme. During 2016 the weekend focused on the strategic importance of the Airborne Forces. During 2017 the theme will draw on the contribution made by the Special Forces.

Roberta Winterton, Pilgrim Bandits Area Manager for Northern England explains “This is an amazing chance for Pilgrim Bandits. We will be bringing our entire charity community to make the most of the weekend both in terms of raising awareness and funds for the work we do but it also affords us a rare and valuable opportunity for all of us to work together on what is a compelling national event.
