Shoppers to step back in time with 1940s Picnic Day at Marshall’s Yard

Marshall’s Yard is taking visitors on a nostalgic trip back in time on Saturday (13th September), with a 1940’s Picnic Day.

The event is planned for the fountain area at the centre from 11am – 2pm and will bring some of the sounds and nostalgia of the era to life with a memorable day out for the family.

The centre will be transformed with themed bunting and vintage displays, with visitors treated to a performance from the Room 21 Big Band alongside authentic 1940s dancers.

Children can enjoy free face painting between 11am and 1pm, while families are encouraged to take part in traditional garden games and enjoy the collection of vintage vehicles on display.

Melissa Clement, centre manager at Marshall’s Yard, said: “We’re really excited to be bringing the 1940’s Picnic Day to Marshall’s Yard. It’s a chance for families and visitors of all ages to enjoy fantastic live entertainment, vintage displays and good old-fashioned fun.

“The Yard has such a special atmosphere, and this event is a wonderful way to celebrate the past while making new memories together.”
