Tracks to the Trenches commemorates the role of logistics on the First World War battlefield - particularly focussing on the narrow gauge light railways that sustained the Trenches and the artillery.
Operating on the demonstration field railway will be a large range of historic WW1 locomotives and wagons - providing a clear demonstration of why they were built 100 years ago.
Also present onsite will be a large First World War living history camp, a number of historic vehicles and displays. Watch out for the Cavalry displays and other horse powered haulage during the days!
There is a large military themed narrow gauge model railway exhibition embedded within the event and also a large number of supporting traders - PLUS the all important REAL ALE BAR!
