Annual Running Day for
Merseyside Heritage Transport Charity
THE event is a firm favourite with
American veterans who were stationed at the base during the war and after; and
many of them make the transatlantic trip to Warrington every year to mark the
occasion and get involved in celebrations. John Cotterill from RAF Burtonwood
Heritage Centre said:- "We can't wait to welcome our local families over
the weekend, it's the ideal way to pay tribute to those who served here. RAF
Burtonwood is such a huge part of Warrington's history; thousands of American
servicemen married local girls so it's a fantastic get together for so many
people. It's also a great way for children and adults alike to get a real
glimpse into wartime Warrington." As part of the event, Saturday
night sees the Rock 'n' Jive Dance Night, starting from 7.30pm until midnight
and featuring live music from the North West's multi talented band, The
Retrobeats, and resident retro DJ GI. Jive will be spinning favourite tunes from
the 40's, 50's and 60's. This lively and upbeat night is a sell out each year
with free parking and a licensed bar, make sure you dress to impress. Tickets
are priced at ₤11 per person or ₤14 per person which includes food. For those
wanting to stay over and enjoy the full weekend there are special rates
available at the Gulliver's Hotel, quote BW001 when booking. For more details
