A CALL has been made to scrap next year’s 1940s weekend in Barnard Castle.
The event is usually held in late June and is organised by the town council.
It features a number of re-enactment groups, promenaders in period dress and other vintage-themed concerts, events and activities.
This year’s 1940s weekend was called off due to the pandemic and with continued uncertainty as to what the next few months could bring, Cllr Sandra Moorhouse told members of the town council’s partnerships committee the best thing to do would be to call it off again. She also said expecting the depleted town council staffing team to help organise the event would be asking too much of them.
