During the weekend visitors will be able to see the world premiere
of the third in the Ministry of Entertainment's trilogy of wartime
plays, "Yes, We Have No Bananas", which looks at life in a south
coast town in 1944, with ordinary people beset by food shortages
and American GIs.
Visitors will also be able to attend a wartime cookery talk
by food author Marguerite Patten OBE about feeding a family
in times of food shortage and rationing.
Then they can learn some classic and exciting jive dance moves
of the 1940s with the Elmgrove LeRoc Dance School.
In the evening the Industrial Museum will invite visitors to
'button on their braces', 'paint on stocking seams' and dance
the night away.
Celebrate D-Day will be held at Bristol's Industrial Museum
on 14/15 August.
