Britain's What's On Event Guide
Sway care home invites community to honour VE Day
On Thursday 8th May, from 2pm-4pm, Care UK’s Sway Place, on Church Lane, is welcoming local people to honour the 80th anniversary of VE Day with its very own 1940s-themed celebration.
VE Day was celebrated on 8th May 1945, after Prime Minister Winston Churchill made an announcement on the radio that the war in Europe had come to an end. This emotional news sparked celebrations across the country, with many taking to the streets for spontaneous parties.
At Sway Place, the team has been hard at work organising their own special commemorative event, which will see residents and guests enjoy an afternoon of delicious food, entertainment and dancing as they embrace the spirit of the 1940s.
Team members will turn back the clock as they adorn fancy dress from the wartime era, while singer Ana Leon will get everyone’s toes tapping with songs from decades gone by. Buffet-style refreshments will also be offer, along with vintage cars and a raffle in aid of the Royal British Legion.
