VE Day Celebrations

As the VE Day celebrations are approaching, it feels timely to give you an update.

The village will be decorated around 9th April so you will see some bunting and signs appear. Please join us by adding your own additional decorations to houses and gardens. 

For those of you who enjoy dressing up – you are most welcome, particularly for the party. Please wear anything relevant and meaningful to you.  

Dressing up is by no means a requirement of joining the celebrations!

We have received a selection of photographs and memorabilia to display at the party and it is not too late to add to the collection. Please let us know if you have anything to share by contacting Dawn Hanson: 07733262543 or Jane Dacre: 07856733418
