While VE Day itself is Thursday 8 May, and our borough celebration is on Saturday 10 May, to support this year's momentous anniversary the bank holiday Monday 5 May has been officially dedicated to community celebrations!

Eighty years ago, street parties were how the nation celebrated the end of the war, so we're encouraging as many residents as possible to close their streets to host a Street Party or Big Lunch.

To apply for a street party visit our street parties and events webpage.
