Wartime Blaenavon of the 1940s will be back as a military mobile hospital, radio room, public house, artillery, military vehicles and the fashion of the time will be returning.

You will be able to see soldiers from both sides of the war and learn all about their weapons and tactics as a battle rages on both days.
