Saturday morning found us up early to head off to RAF Cosford for their new event - a vintage and handmade festival. Arriving early, we had time to park and have a little walk around before heading down to Hangar one to access the festival. A smaller event than the food festival last month, there were lots of stalls to look around but not much choice on the food front and a fraction of the vendors we have seen at Cosford before. It was fun looking around, even though we didn't buy anything a part from jams and chutneys. We did have a nice lunch, followed by ice cream!
There was lots of 1940's themed musical entertainment, first up was a George Formby tribute which was very good and so funny! His mum was sitting in the front row, which made us all smile! We also saw the Ronnies and Gloria Sunset. Both good too, but we really missed the Bluebird Belles. The music was definitely the highlight of the day. Sadly the spitfire fly over was cancelled, I expect this was due to the windy conditions. The weirdest thing of the day was hearing the Ronnies performing Wuthering Heights (the Kate Bush hit) in a 1040's swing style. It did not work - at all!
We stayed at the festival will about 2pm, then walked over to the RAF museum. Its a really interesting place, with lots of exhibits to look at. The museum is free and I can highly recommend a visit. It took us about an hour to get home. I am glad to say the rain held off till we were home, how lucky is that!
