The Victory Show, Leicestershire

Held over a 100-acre site at Foxlands Farm, Cosby, Leicestershire, the Victory Show provides Historical Societies and re-enactments through various forces from several eras and theatres during the period of 1939-45. From Airmen to Infantry, the Victory Show opens a window in time to the fabulous 1940’s.

Kicking off the festival season, SplashMaps will have a stand at the We Have Ways Festival on the weekend of 20th July. This festival, celebrated for its immersive World War II history experiences, finds us all camped out at the Blackpit Brewery in Buckinghamshire. Silk Escape and Evasion maps of WW2 were, of course, the forerunner to our waterproof, durable, and highly detailed SplashMaps. Our Normandy and other Battle maps mean we always attract a crowd of re-enactment, experts, historians and the odd celebrity.
