The feud between Scott Elvis and Adam Hoffman continues. Scott parked the outdoor entertainments vehicle outside the door of the Victory Marquee and blasted out Heartbreak Hotel just as Alan was starting his set inside. Adam saw him off and continued his song.
Adam always gets revenge but Elvis suspected nothing when several fans asked him to sing ‘Devil in Disguise’ in his next appearance.
It all started so well –
Could that be a plan being hatched in the background?
Things were happening behind Scott Elvis
The shock was real enough
But like the great performer he is – the show went on
The moment he realised who had worked the plan.
Another outstanding day at the War & Peace Revival – It was a bit warm – The fabulous ‘Duettes’ summed the day up. “Too Darned Hot” A fantastic show with amazing performers. Only Today and Tomorrow left. Don’t miss out come on down to The Hop Farm but remember your hat and sun cream.

The Duettes, Holly from Ashford and Victoria from Folkestone, stole the show on the first day of the War & Peace Revival at the Whitbread Hopfields Event Centre, Beltring near Paddock Wood.
Holly & Victoria harmonised brilliantly and reeled off forties and fifties favourites to a packed audience on a blazing hot afternoon in the ‘Dad’s Army’ featured Victory Marquee.
Old favourites Adam Hoffman & Scott Elvis were back with Adam up to his usual tricks – stealing the microphone from Scott as he was about to start his set.
Viv the Spiv, the best compare in the world, conducted affairs with his usual inimitable line of banter, probably with an armful of watches up his sleeve and a few pairs of silk stockings in his pocket.
The show runs on tomorrow, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Don’t miss out on the finest Military vehicle event on the Globe and its amazing variety of all things vintage, even a 1940s village with the original pub with no beer.
Many pictures and stories from the show will be included in Rye’s Own, Cinque Ports and Hastings Town in the months to come with extra special features in our new Magazine “Vintage World” the first issue of which will be available at Christmas.

The 2017 War & Peace Revival opened today (Tuesday 25 July).
The show has returned to it’s old venue at Whitbread Hop garden Family Show-ground after four years at Folkestone Racecourse.
Crowds massed to the event on it’s opening day and were entertained by a fantastic variety of military vehicles and vintage activities.
The entertainment marquee put on a continuous show from 12 noon with a huge variety of vintage acts and music from the periods.
The following film depicts just a small variety of what is on offer. The show continues till Saturday 29th.
Westenhanger, home of Folkestone Racecourse, has lost the greatest
show of military vehicles in the world because the organisers are
not certain the venue will be available on a long term basis due to
the proposal of a massive housing development on the Racecourse.
The move has brought the show closer to Rye just a 50 minute drive
up the A21 to Whitbread Hop Garden Show ground at Beltring.
Hopping Back in Time!
The War and Peace Revival 2017 will make a welcome return to the Hop
Farm, Kent on the 25th to 29th July. The announcement that the event
is returning to what many regard as the show’s ‘spiritual home’ has
caused quite a ‘buzz’ with this year’s preparations. The show is
the world’s greatest celebration of military history and vintage lifestyle
and following the announcement of the move to Hop Farm, the organisers
have been inundated with bookings from military vehicle owners, re-enactment
groups and traders and many more that have never attended the show
before or have not attended since the event moved to Folkestone racecourse.
The War and Peace Revival attracts thousands of visitors on each
of the five days with many camping onsite to enjoy the festival atmosphere.
Vehicles
Thousands of military vehicles from around the world representing
armies of the 20th Century will be on show including tanks, armoured
and amphibious vehicles, cars, jeeps, artillery, motorbikes, emergency
vehicles and commercial vehicles. All vehicles are lovingly restored
to their former glory by dedicated vehicle enthusiasts who are only
too willing to share the stories behind their vehicles.
Pictures from previous shows
Civilian vehicles, peace-time activities and re-enactors will
all combine to create a vision of the social backdrop against which
WW2 was fought. (Building began earlier this year on the frontages,
video on Facebook, posted 11th April) Models
An extensive display of highly detailed and realistic scale models
will be on display, bringing enthusiasts from around the world. The
attention to detail on these models is remarkable and the craftsmen
are always willing to share their knowledge and experience with other
keen hobbyists. The War and Peace Revival is a unique opportunity
to see the full-sized versions of some of their models in action just
by walking outside.
Entertainment
Discover the Britain at War’s Victory Marquee with all its elegance
bringing the 1940s to life with the best family entertainment from
the mid-20th Century. With a super daily line-up of singers, dancers
and comedians it’s the place to go for a proper old fashioned ‘knees-up”.
By night the Victory Marquee is the venue for the War and Peace Revival
Variety Show with music, dancing and a star studded cast of some of
the best acts around. The Spitfire Bar offers a lively alternative venue with bands
and a resident DJ each night during the show. For a quieter drink
in surroundings with a classy ‘retro’ feel the ‘Gentleman’s Lounge’
is the place to relax and unwind.

It seems the imminent house building plan that Shepway has for the area has driven the War & Peace Revival away from the area and back to Whitbreads Hopfields Showgrounds at Beltring.
The show, which was immensely popular for the past four years at Folkestone Racecourse and responsible for attracting a huge amount of trade to the area from all over the country and the continent, is to be staged at Pembury in 1917 and beyond.
A long term contract has been signed which will see the show at Beltring for at least the next four years Continue reading 2017 War and Peace Revival will not be held at Folkestone Racecourse
