Desborough’s traditional celebration of the 1940s will take place on Saturday 13 September 2025 from noon until 4 o’clock. We expect a flyover from a Spitfire from the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (at about 3:30pm), and the usual entertainments, stalls, rides, and refreshments.

Station Road (and a bit of High Street) will be closed all day to allow the event to go ahead safely.

Please give us details:-

• if you have a vehicle from the 1940s (or before) and you want to bring it – use this short form.
• if you want to trade or come along with a stall of any kind – use this short form.
• if you want to volunteer to help on the day – use this short form.

If you are able to volunteer to help with setting up, stewarding, or clearing up afterwards, please get in touch by filling in the form on this site or fill in this quick form.
