LISTEN very carefully, we shall say this only once... Stars of a popular sitcom will be among the attractions heading to a hugely popular war-themed show.

Temple at War will return to Cressing Temple in May and early-bird tickets are on sale now for those looking to secure a bargain.

It will be the fifth time the barns host the jam-packed vintage military show which is quickly gaining a reputation as being one of the best around.

And this year fans of classic WWII sitcom ’Allo ’Allo! will be able to say “Good moaning!” to two of the show’s stars, as Herr Flick and Helga – alias Richard Gibson and Kim Hartman – will be on hand to perform and meet visitors.

The family-friendly show brings together more than 900 re-enactors from the First and Second World Wars, as well as the Cold War.

It will also host performances by 1940s entertainment trios the Hotsie Totsies and Fox, Wiggle and Sass.

Visitors will be able to spend time wandering through 90 amazing displays and see explosive pyrotechnics based on real war encounters.

Weather and mechanics permitting, there will be a Battle of Britain aerial display.

Collectors will be able to find a bargain or two from the traders while lessons on handling a bayonet and de-activating training bombs will be on offer too.

There will be a German woodland encampment, spontaneous enactments and the chance to join the Home Guard.

Visitors can also learn about the thousands of artefacts and items on display, understand how to dance to the period’s music and chat to seasoned enthusiasts.

Signature attractions which have been built exclusively by the team over the past five years will remain. The show will take place on the weekend of May 11 and 12.
