VE day

VE80 picnic street party

Little Shelford VE Day

80th Anniversary Family Celebration

Monday 5th May 2025

2pm to 6pm

The Side Quest and Car Park

High Street, Little Shelford

On 8 May 2025, we mark the historic 80th anniversary of VE Day, with the peoples, families and communities of our nation coming together to unite and celebrate 80 years of peace since the end of World War II in Europe. Celebration and commemoration events start on Bank Holiday Monday 5th May and a we want to create our own village celebration for families and friends.

We are organising a VE80 picnic “street party” in the Car Park at the Side Quest. Bring your own picnic and drinks, chairs and gazebos. We will provide tables and bunting to give it a “street party” vibe. There will be a fancy dress competition (1940’s Themed) for all ages (Junior, Secondary and Adult categories) which will be judged by long standing resident and former District and Parish Councillor, Brenda Bishop.

There will also be music and Open Mic sessions for any budding musicians, singers, poets and performers! We encourage family table top games and will organise giant jenga in the pub garden. Other suggestions are welcome so please contact the organisers. Families should feel free to bring outdoor games for younger family members.

We encourage everyone to take part and gather at the Side Quest and be part of the VE80 anniversary providing an afternoon of joy, reflection, and celebration and reaffirming our commitment to world peace, ensuring future generations understand and cherish its value.

The Side Quest will be open and serving food but there is no obligation to buy. The owner, Mark Gerhard, has kindly offered the use of the car park space and is keen to see the village having fun.

 

The Village Team organising the event would welcome additional volunteers to help set up, take down and host the afternoon. As you know many hands make light work! Set up will commence at 11am and take down at 6.30pm. If you can help let David Jones, Parish Councillor  (DavidJHJones@btinternet.com  01223 847213) or David Munro (djm.munro@btinternet 01223 842399) know. Your support for the event and any help would be much appreciated!
