Welcome
Brougham Hall Wartime Weekend is small and friendly event which was founded in 2016 when the late Christopher Terry, the then owner and driving force behind Brougham Hall’s restoration, invited the Military Vehicle Trust to be involved in the first WW2 Wartime Weekend.
It is now held at the invitation of the owners and is organised by a small team of local representatives of the North Lancashire and Cumbria Military Vehicle Trust and Brougham Hall.
Our aim is to commemorate the service and sacrifice of all those whose lives were effected by the Second World War and to further understanding of the conflict and its lasting legacy.
We offer something for all ages and welcome people from all over the country.
The event is held within the walls of the historic hall and showcases authentic allied living history and military vehicle displays, and commemorates the Hall's WW2 heritage; the Hall was home to the 79th Armoured Division who secretly developed a “Hobart’s Funny” tank modification known as
Canal Defence Light (CDL) or “Monty’s moonlight”.
May 8th 2025 is the 80th Anniversary of VE Day, when war in Europe came to an end after nearly 6 years of conflict and our 2025 show will commemorate this important date. Find out more here.
