This year marks 80 years since VE (Victory in Europe) Day when the Second World War came to an end in Europe. Join us for a special day to celebrate and honour those who fought to protect our freedom.
Step back in time and join us for a nostalgic celebration of Victory in Europe Day within the historic grounds of Sudeley Castle. Discover how Sudeley offered a safe haven for evacuee families, national treasures as well as accommodating prisoners-of-war.
As we reflect on the freedom and values the Second World War generation fought to protect, this special day connects every generation with history, stories and the impact of the war years.
