About Us

Step Back in Time at The Dig For Victory Show

13th & 14th June 2026 |  Just outside Weston-super-Mare

Roll back the years and step into the spirit of the 1940s at The Dig For Victory Show - a festival where history isn’t just remembered, it’s relived. Set against the rolling countryside just outside of Weston-super-Mare, this family weekend is a living, breathing tribute to Britain’s wartime home front.

The Scene is Set: Living History All Around

Wander through wartime Britain recreated in exquisite detail. From the make-do-and-mend Home Front Marquee to field kitchens and traditional farming demos, you’ll meet the characters who kept the country going, brought to life by passionate re-enactors.
Marvel at restored tanks and military vehicles, and learn the stories of those who served - with gripping live displays.
