Hello. I am from the local branch of the Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust and the group are in discussion with our head office about the possibility of opening the Woodhall Spa Airfield to visitors over the 40s weekend. We could probably only offer disabled parking at the site and therefore wondered if the Bus travelling from Woodhall to Thorpe Camp could drop off and pick up passengers at the airfield en route. If this is feasible we could plan to open and man the site to fit in with the bus timetables. I know that we may have left it too late for this year but would appreciate your thoughts.
Thank you Vivian. One of the team will comeback to you about this offer.
We are not trade stalls but would like to have 3 stalls together. We sell memorabilia, 40’s style and original clothes, Handmade bespoke hats, aprons scarves etc

Good evening can you tell me what the parking situation will be for dog owners as I cannot obviously leave my dog in the car and cannot use the park and ride!!! I did raise this point last year!!!
Hello
Dogs are not allowed on the park and ride buses. Best to park in Spitfire car park and walk into Woodhall from there. See this post for car park info: https://woodhall-spa-40s-festival.com/car-parks-2019-update/
Thanks
Can we have details of evening entertainment
Will be on the site in the next couple of weeks.
Hi, unfortunately we were unable to attend last October’s meeting (we had been to the previous one) so instead I messaged the committee asking if you would raise the issue of allowing motorhomes to park overnight in your park and ride car parks – for a fee of course. It is allowed at other 40s events we go to. I sent a follow up question a couple of months later asking if the topic had been raised, but I have had no response to either message. The first one was marked as read, the second one doesn’t appear to have been seen. We are relatively local, so would come to the site with enough water etc to see us through the weekend until we got home.
As you are well aware all the campsites within walking distance get booked up early. We are hoping to go to two of the dances in the evenings (Boston Jive’s Fri and Sat night dances), so being able to stay overnight would help enormously.
Many thanks
Hello Carol
Apologies for not replying to your emails – but nothing has come to me. Anyway, I’ll ask about overnight stay at the next meeting and post the info here. I suspect it will be a “no” because our car parks are on private farm land. Expect a response in approx 2 weeks.
Hello Carol
Your request has been discussed at the Committee meeting and the decision is that car parks will shut at 7pm each evening, so there will be no parking overnight permitted. Sorry we can’t accommodate your request.
My 94 year old mother in law wants to come to the festival. She is registered disable and wants to use her mobility scooter. We will be coming from Wigan and will have to use a trailer for the scooter. Is there somewhere close to the town where I can park the car and trailer for the day? If so do I need to book a parking place?
Thanking you in advance.
Regards
James
Hello
Yes there is disabled car park which is close to the centre of the village. And yes you will need to book a car park space. The on line booking system will be open mid next month (Feb).
We look forward to seeing you at the Festival.
Dear Chaps,
I noticed that a number of non-1940s vehicles were on display last year.
Will you be ensuring that only period vehicles, and also period music and dance are permitted this year?
I really appreciate all the hard work that you put into making this event the success that it is, and for some of us it is a pilgrimage/holiday.
I have stayed in Woodhall Spa for two weeks over the last 1940s weekend events.
Love the place and the people there. Yours sincerely Ken Spencer
Hello Ken
Thank you for the complimentary comments.
We’ll do our best to make sure only 40s and pre-40s vehicles are displayed. As to the music we cannot instruct pubs and hotels to only play 40s music, we have to hope that they realise how blasting out non 40s music detracts from the atmosphere of the Festival. There has been a lot of negative comment about this issue in the 2018 Festival.
We look forward to seeing you in July.
Hi where can I park my motorbike and is there a charge ?
Hello Robert
There is a car park just for motorbikes and yes there will be a charge. We plan on having the car park booking system open for the start of March.
hi do you have attraction’s at your event?
We run a Bespoke shooting range that is military themed ( not a fair ground stall) that we attend 1940’s events up and down the uk
hope you don’t mind me asking

Hi, if we want to come to a dance in the evening, where will we be able to park please?
The road closures apply during the day so in the evening the roads are open for parking. There is therefore plenty of space to park in the evenings. Thanks.
I am thinking of bringing a group by coach. How far will the drop off point be from the event?
The drop off point is in the centre of Woodhall by the round-a-bout – so in the middle of the Festival. You can then park up in the coach parking area. Details about that will be on the site in the next few weeks. We look forward to seeing you in the Summer.
Will the Jubilee Park pool be open over the Festival weekend in 2019 please?
Yes it will be but you will be unable to park your car in the Park.
