Heritage Open Day

Heritage Open Day: Wokingham at War
We’ve got a fantastic day planned for Heritage Open Day as we take a journey back in time and explore Wokingham at War.
Discover the story of the World War II generation and the communities across Wokingham who came together, supported one another and played their part during one of the most challenging periods in our history.

What was it really like to live in Wokingham during World War II
Hear the stories of evacuees and the children who came to Wokingham for safety.
Discover how local women supported the war effort.
Find out which military personnel were based in Wokingham during the war.
Explore what everyday life was like on the home front – and much more!

There’ll be special enactments, arts and crafts activities for all the family, live music and plenty of opportunities to discover the people and stories behind Wokingham’s wartime history.
