On Stage & On Screen: What’s Happening This 1940s Weekend
Step back in time and relive the spirit of the 1940s as Sheringham bursts into life with vintage music, timeless fashion, classic vehicles, and a wonderful sense of nostalgia. Alongside events happening across the town, we’re thrilled to share our very own SLT 1940s weekend programme for 2025.
On Friday 19th and Saturday 20th, by popular demand, The Knightingales return to the stage! This year’s show is set to be bigger, bolder, and even more brilliant. Join this sensational vocal trio for a rip-roaring singalong packed with vintage charm and wartime favourites. Let The Knightingales transport you back to a golden era of song, celebration and good old-fashioned fun. So dust off your glad rags, shine up your dancing shoes and get ready to swing, sway and sing your way into the weekend. Whether it’s your first visit or you’re a returning regular, this lively evening of music and memories is guaranteed to lift your spirits and get your toes tapping. Expect heart-warming harmonies, cheeky banter and unforgettable tunes by Vera Lynn, Doris Day, The Andrews Sisters and more. Two nights only. Early booking recommended as these shows always sell fast!
Then on Sunday 21st, join us for a special screening of the 1946 classic A Matter of Life and Death. Powell and Pressburger are at their most imaginative – and controversial – in this film, starring David Niven. Squadron Leader Peter Carter is alone in a blazing plane. As he prepares himself for death he confides his innermost secrets to a radio operator. After jumping out of the plane he miraculously survives, meets the woman he spoke to and they fall in love. Although he appears to be unhurt, he has in fact suffered severe concussion which is accompanied by a series of strange hallucinations. During a brain operation, he meets characters from another world, and whilst he undergoes this dangerous operation, his spirit is put on trial. The verdict will decide whether he will live or die.. With tickets starting at just £4, it’s the perfect cinematic finale to a memorable weekend.
Don’t forget to stop by The Hub, where our fabulous team will be serving homemade cakes, freshly baked scones, and endless pots of tea – all against a backdrop of 1940s décor and attire. Open until 4pm over the weekend, it’s the ideal place to relax, recharge, and soak up the atmosphere.
