Whether you’ve been to War and Peace before or this will be your first time, this section is for you to find out all you need to know about visiting The War and Peace Revival at The Hop Farm!

Home Front re-enactors, dioramas and individual displays depicting civilian life from 1930 to 1960 are given a dedicated area to show what life was like away from the barracks and the battlefield. Home Front re-enactors and demonstrators will show the hardships endured by both men and women left behind.

Living History scenes will provide a unique picture of life in conflict with depictions from WW1 to the present – see the British living in trenches, GIs in Vietnam, Russians relaxing with an accordion after a hard day in battle, or Germans plotting their next moves! Our re-enactors adhere to a strict moral code in their displays.

Trade stalls will give collectors and shoppers the opportunity to browse through marquees packed full of treasures including militaria, antiquities, vehicle parts, books, memorabilia, clothing and uniforms and all manner of essential finds for the discerning enthusiast – everything from a shirt button to a tank!

Thousands of military vehicles will be on display. Look out for tanks, artillery, armoured and amphibious vehicles, cars, Jeeps, bicycles and motorbikes, emergency and commercial vehicles – and lots more.

In the Arena you can see full-scale choreographed battles to give you a taste of the action at the Front! Get right up close to the action, but through a safe and vehicle-free zone.

Discover the Victory Marquee with all its elegance bringing the 1940s to life with the best in entertainment from the mid-20th Century.
