Get Involved

Leyburns 1940s Weekend is a ‘community’ event – only made possible by the efforts of individuals working together. It’s the same spirit of collaboration that defined the 1940s that makes our program of events so such a success, and so enjoyable. And the more people that ‘get involved’ the better it will be in the future.

Action Team

Its often said by visitors that its the friendliness of the locals that makes coming to The Dales so enjoyable. The people who live here themselves, not only enjoy the great countryside but also sharing the atmosphere with others.

That’s why the event started in the first place, and why it continues to thrive. But as it grows each year the event needs even more people, so if you live within easy reach of Leyburn and would like to help in ANY way, we’d love to hear from you.
