The venue will be decked out in vintage-inspired decoration to whisk you back to wartime, matched to a backdrop of retro tunes and themed drinks.
And to go along with that, fancy dress is mandatory!
​
So here are some images to help inspire you to plan your outfit - it doesn't matter if it's down-to-earth land girl, prim and proper housewife or super glam starlet, so long as you're dressed for the part(y).
​
Don't forget the hair and make-up - red lips, curls and headscarves are key!
​
And the men aren't missing out either - there are lots of looks for them too.
​
You can find links to some great vintage shops, hirers and online retailers
below the gallery as well.
