Dust off your glad rags
Get ready to step back in time at the Kew Bridge Steam Museum, with a 1940s themed weekend, World War II and You: Life on the Home front, over the August Bank Holiday 25, 26 & 27.
Museu director Ernest Buchner said: "Things are really shaping up for our 40s weekend.
"We are inviting residents to arrive in period costume - Civilian Dress and Allied Forces Uniforms only - or by bringing along a pre 1949 car, bicycle or motorbike.
"They will then benefit from a £2 discount off the entrance fee."
Activities include a variety of demonstrations, tips on 'make do and mend', how to make nutritious meals from the rations plus a special wartime menu in the café. Various wartime vehicles will be on display.
