VE DAY 80th ANNIVERSARY 2025
This year marks the 80th anniversary of the end of the World War 2 in Europe. A day of celebration for the people of this country, albeit the war was continuing in the Far East.
The Parish Councils of Burstow, Horne and Outwood are joining together to organise a day of celebration for this anniversary at Centenary Hall in Smallfield on SUNDAY 4th MAY 2025.
We wish to make it a happy day for our communities, but a respectful one as well to remind us of the sacrifices made so we may enjoy our freedoms today. This year’s celebration will have live entertainment, refreshments, raffle, tombola, bar, face painting, ice cream van and many other activities. More details will become available nearer the time.
A 1940’s theme is our suggestion. Fancy dress in the style of the times, military or civilian, would be a bonus, but, of course, optional.
We also intend to have an exhibition of wartime memorabilia. We will welcome any exhibits from our communities to help us in this endeavour.
Nearer the time we will be requesting donations for the raffle and tombola, and for volunteers to help the day go well.
Sponsorship to help defray costs is also most welcome.
We are very grateful to Nick Knox Plant Hire and Asprey Homes who have already been extremely generous in their recent offers of sponsorship to our event.
