The Victory show

Held across a 100-acre site at Foxlands Farm, Cosby, Leicestershire, the event features historical societies and re-enactments representing various forces from multiple eras and theatres during the period of 1939-45. The show highlights roles ranging from airmen to infantry and presents aspects of life in the 1940s.

The Victory Show is open all day Friday (dedicated to schools as an educational day, and a general public day), as well as Saturday and Sunday, offering a diverse program designed to appeal to a wide audience. The event features re-enactment camps and an extensive collection of 1940s vehicles. Attendees can explore over 80 stalls within the large traders’ area, view static WWII aircraft, and see both operational and static displays of 1940s farming machinery. Highlights include a substantial army encampment, participation by more than 150 re-enactment groups, and an impressive array of hundreds of military vehicles, including heavy armour. Live entertainment will be provided throughout each day in the marquee by Paul Harper and guests. Numerous additional attractions located across the site, and various food and beverage outlets further enhance the visitor experience. The Victory Show is committed to honouring the legacy and history of the 1940s and World War II.
