In 2021 after a years break The Victory Show returned to Foxlands Farm in Cosby Leicestershire. Featuring Historical Societies, re-enactments, Vintage Vehicles and Aircraft, history came alive for visitors to the popular annual show. We start our visit to the event with a marching band who lead us into the 100 acre site before a flypast and landing by vintage aircraft. As the action moves back to down to earth we see various vehicles in motion before a masterclass in reversing a tank. To the woods then where we are advised to wear our helmets and to beware of enemy shells. In a German camp they are playing chess whilst listening to a gramophone when a soldier brings news of a possible attack, Over in the allied trenches they are ready for action as they make a push toward enemy lines. We end on a letter (or maybe a report of the days events ?) being typed up, before tents are packed away for another year.

The residents of Desford in Leicestershire got their creative juices flowing over the August bank holiday with the return of the ever popular Desford Scarecrow Festival. With a years break one of Leicestershire's biggest scarecrow festivals was back bigger and better than ever, 2021`s theme being A Desford Tale... Tell us a story. The theme lent itself to a wide variety of interpretations with Very Hungry Caterpillars appearing alongside Captain Underpants, Room on the Broom, Zog, The Gruffalo and more, Pennywise the Clown even made a scary appearance at one address. The village was full of people throughout a very successful three days, each following the trail and ticking off spotted scarecrows in their trail guides before voting for their favorite. Several "Hubs" at various points along the route, played host to food stalls and entertainment from local brass bands, dance performances, singers, Bands and more making them a perfect place to rest those tired feet.
