Britain's What's On Event Guide
Chichester care home invites community to honour VE Day
On Thursday 8th May, from 12.30pm-3.30pm, Care UK’s Chichester Grange, on Portsmouth Road, is welcoming local people to honour the 80th anniversary of VE Day with its very own 1940s-themed garden party.
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 Chichester Grange, 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.
A live performance from local singer Mitchell Armstrong will get everyone on their feet as he performs songs from the wartime era, while buffet-style refreshments, offering a taste of the 1940s and 50s, will also be available.
During the afternoon, a special Remembrance Rose will be planted in the Chichester Grange Garden in memory of all those who lost their lives during the war.
Nikki Burke, Home Manager at Chichester Grange, said: “We’re always grateful for an opportunity to strengthen our relationships with the community, so we’re looking forward to welcoming people for a special garden party to mark the 80th anniversary of VE Day
