The Atkinson in Southport is holding a special Polish Day next weekend.

The Military Vehicle Trust will be showcasing a number of vintage vehicles in front of The Atkinson as well as staging a Second World War British medical aid post in the foyer.

And the Polish Heritage Flight team will be on hand in the galleries to share stories of heroism with visitors.

There will also be talks, Polish food, craft sessions and traditional Polish dress to try on.
