OPERATION MARKET GARDEN COMMEMORATION

On the 21st of September 2019, 1940s Swansea will host a living history weekend to remember the week-long battle of Operation Market Garden that would have brought the war to an end six months early.

Authentic uniforms and weapons will be on display, with re-enactors dressed in period clothing. A new exhibit will be set up, giving details of the operation, with facts and photos. Refreshments will be available throughout the day, including Spam sandwiches and Camp coffee.

Suitable for all ages, and dogs welcome!
