Village celebration of VE Day – Lockdown Style

In 1945 Winston Churchill announced Victory in Europe, the end of the Second World War on 8th May.
So join in the celebration on the afternoon of 8th May 2020 in your own front gardens, or on the pavement outside your house (2m apart from your neighbours) with a cup of tea (or beverage of your choice) and cake.

You may also wish to decorate your garden, front of house, in 1940s style, or red, white and blue.
Please take some photographs for display in the Village Hall on a future date.

Regrettably we have had to postpone the Barn Dance, due to the uncertainty of what stage we will be at with the Coronavirus.

We would like to thank all of you who bought tickets for your support. We hope that when we come out the other side of this, you will join us for a rearranged event.

In the meantime, refunds are available from Aruna at Great Gidding Village Stores.

Once again, thank you for your support.
