Desford Heritage Festival


A village through time, Visitors to Desford in Leicestershire had no need for a blue police box or a modified delorean when the village traveled back to various time periods for the first Desford Heritage Festival. Streets and areas of the village where separated into "time zones" from medieval era though civil war, World Wars 1&2, victorian era and more, as visitors walked around the village they would come across wartime soldiers meeting with Tudor Queens and men on penny farthing bikes, Civil War sword fights took place at the side of the road, whilst a steam powered roller caused the most unlikeliest of traffic jams on the Manor Road !. the weekend also saw action in the skies with 6 tiger moth planes performing a fly past and with its links to the village a appearance by a spitfire and hurricane to bring the weekend to a close.
