2027 will be year 10 for our event. Once again we will be returning to Pembrey Country Park for the early BH weekend. For the 10th anniversary we are looking at pulling out all the stops and staging the biggest WW1 weekend to date. We are casting the net and getting our exhibitors on board good and early for this milestone event.

We've had a week to reflect and decompress. Notwithstanding the weather being all over the shop this year and not strictly as predicted by the Met Office on both days, the feedback has been positive, the exhibitors played well with the public and we've come away with a few ideas for next year. A massive thank you of course to all of our exhibitors for their time and expertise and to the staff at Pembrey Country Park for again allowing us to indulge ourselves in their amazing venue. Here's to 2027.

Members of Axis-Allied (AX-AL) will be portraying Shackleton's 1914 - 1917 ITAE (Endurance) Expedition.

With the race to the South Pole ending in 1912, Shackleton set his sights on crossing the entire Antarctic peninsula travelling via the South Pole. We will be retelling the story of him and his men during this renowned expedition. If in the area please come and say hello and take the chance to find out more.

Our display contains a range of original items from the period as well as items that we have researched and recreated replicating some of the men's skillsets.
